About this Event
WHAT IS IMPROV? π
Improv theatre is a performance art form where players create situations, characters and stories without any script or pre-existing plot. Improvisation is an incredibly powerful self-expression, creativity, and collective thinking tool. With founding principles such as acceptance, support, presence and listening, improv equips individuals with life-changing skills. It is also an excellent medium for trained actors to unleash their creativity and freedom on and off stage. Oh, and it's fun. Really fun.

WHO IS RUNNING THIS COURSE? β¨
SPARK Rotterdam is an English-speaking improv school, community and company based in Rotterdam, NL. We teach weekly classes, run monthly shows and spread joy like peanut butter on a broodje.
Here are a few nice stuff people had to say about our classes:
Β« Being playful, silly and light felt like taking a big breath out in the evening. I was looking forward every Wednesday and the positive effect after the class stayed for many hours even the next day. I read about the neurological affects of improv on human brain and I could definitely felt those effects of relaxation and being in the present Β»
Β« The most fun and fullfilling experience as good as hot chocolate, without the calories! Made me feel alive, thinking on my feet while supported and skillfully guided. Learning effortlessly how to respond rather than react, to offer and receive with an open heart. To interact simply and honestly with a group, which is there to support rather than judge me. Β»
Β« I love how the courses enables us to be playful, to laugh together and learn things at the same time. Β»
Β« This course is a fantastic way of bringing play back into your life, practicing letting go of fear and expectations, and embracing failure in a safe space and supportive environment. All things that can benefit everyone and can make everyday life much lighter. Personally, this experience helped me feel more confident and comfortable in group settings too. Thank you SPARK! Β»
