As improvisers we tend to respond with words rather than follow the impulse our body is offering us. We tend to listen to the words of our scene partners and we forget to listen to what their bodies propose to us. Most of the time we are aware of offers that either our own body or the bodies of our partners are proposed on stage but not explicitly conscious of them. In the workshop we will slow down the words and give full focus to our body movements, gestures and start reading them as offers to build the scene.We will turn on our body awareness and turn it into improvisers knowledge.Sara Šoukal (Slovenia) is a well seasoned theater artist with years of experience. As an actress and as a pedagogue she is most active in the field of theatrical improvisation, for which she says is her first love. She fell in love with improv when she was 9 years old and they have been together ever since. Her improv aesthetic is poetic, physical, dream-like and full of details. Nothing escapes her eye. She tends to break patterns, she challenges herself and others with bold offers that are out of the box. She is determined to put improvisational theater on the map of theater sub genres as an established and recognized performative art.
Lately, she has been setting her foot in other performative fields with great joy and interest. She has been flirting with street theater, devised theater, contemporary dance, object theater and clowning.
She is one of the most active and prominent improvisers in Slovenia, working also abroad, in many impro collectives, theatres and associations.
In Slovenia those are: Association Impro, Iglu theater, Improške, Impromobile, and others.
Internationally, she is part of Ohana and Project Eve collectives respectively.
Sara teached and/ or performed in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Colombia, Czech republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Poland, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, U.S.A., etc.
