    A class to work on the improvised stage. Space, objects, and characters live together in a place created before the eyes of the audience and our partners. If you see it, they will too. In this class we will work on the concepts of use of the space, focus distribution, the balance of forces and status, and framing.

    Some people think that improv is speed, dynamic, immediacy. But it's not just that. It's also pause, harmony and silence. It's a play written and performed on the spot and, like every play, it has its moments. Through this workshop we will try to find the joy of the scene through the use of music.

  • 20:30  - 21:15
    The birthday of a member of the audience is the trigger for a series of scenes inspired by different historical events that took place on that day throughout history. Any given day explores the infinite possibilities of improvisation through short scenes in which the dialogues and character relations play a fundamental role.

    Two people meet somewhere. Nothing can go wrong, right? But it does. It always does. And every time they try to make it right, it just makes it even worse. Have you ever been in this kind of situation? Two characters. One location. Thirty minutes. One big problem. Hila Di Castro and Feña Ortalli destroyed Lena Breuer's kitchen in when they only intended to make coffee. Since then, they're known as: The Coffee Saboteurs.

    Didaskalia (stage direction): an instruction in the text of a play indicating the movement, position, or tone of an actor, or the sound effects and lighting. Have you ever wondered how you can incorporate these directions into your improvised scenes? In this class we will work on the different types of didaskalia we can find in universal theatre and how to adapt this element to the improvised work.

    Life is due to chance, and so is improvisation! Random is a pure form of improvisation show. Random is a playground for these grown-up children, the actors, and an open window into their imagination. Starting from scratch, actors and musicians embark on universes they discover and explore in front of you, based on spontaneously created scenarios. Our instant tightrope walkers walk on the threads of chance, allowing themselves to be carried away by the atmosphere of the moment, the music, the light, and the randomly placed stage elements. As the headliner of the Barcelona International Festival (BIG IF 2015), Random has had great success at international improv festivals in Leuven, Brussels, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Tampere, Dublin, and Amsterdam. Today, this format is performed by other companies and taught in different countries
