In Step 1, we learned the key principles behind the art of improvisation. Step 2 is all about expanding your improv skills. Classes will include work on characters & physicality, emotions, playing with space, object and activity work, discovering patterns and the ‘game’ of the scene. You will also work on creating good platform beginnings (the who/what/where).
What you’ll learn
How to play interesting characters
How to use your body
The use of emotions
Playing with space
Object work and basic mime
The ‘who/what/where’ of a scene
Who this is for
Improv is for everyone. But for this course, people should have a basic understanding of the fundamental building blocks of improv. If you’re new to ImproBubble and wondering which course is right for you, then feel free to email us.
About the teachers
Sara De Sable
Sara De Sable is a Dutch/English theatrical improviser and community artist living and working in Brussels. She studied Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, but always experimented with the performative elements of visual arts, and with her own body as visual material. She is a professionally active improviser in and around Brussels, and teaches improv and art in the socio-artistic sector. She also works as a producer for a young theater collective.
Sara is part of several improv teams and shows, Huntress & Healer amongst others, and often hosts improv jams for ImproBubble.
She has an improv duo show with a local musician, called SPLONK!, where an exchange between sound, music and visual art and the audience's input are the focus. Sara has made several visual site-specific/interactive installations in public space over the last thirteen years. She also teaches improv to youngsters, kids, and people who are learning Dutch.
With a love of authentic, quirky and vulnerable improv, she is not afraid to show herself on stage and invite you into her universe.
Rozana Radu
Rozana is a mother, an actress and an improviser. She started improvisation 15 years ago in Bucharest creating Improvisneyland, the longest-serving impro group in Romania, alongside 6 other actors. They were the first Romanian improvisers to ever perform at the Second City and Impro Amsterdam.
She has done theatre, cinema, television, ballet, aerobics, fencing, ballroom dancing, and she would love to learn capoeira. She also improvises in French in Rouge, a socially engaged show that tackle gender inequalities. Aside from improv, she is a member of U-Thrive, an NGO specialised in alternative education for children, teenagers and disadvantaged communites.
