This two-hour workshop offers an introduction to Impro Sensorial and the creative approach behind the show “Living is like…”.
Together, we’ll explore metaphor as a powerful, poetic tool for performance - expanding how we communicate on stage beyond words alone. Through guided exercises, you’ll learn how to build vivid metaphors using sensory imagery, presence, and simplicity, and how silence can become just as expressive as dialogue.
The workshop is designed for performers with some stage or improv experience who want to deepen their theatrical language and explore a more intuitive, imaginative style of improvisation.
Three participants from the workshop will be selected to perform in a public show the following evening, where scenes are created live from metaphors inspired by the audience.
