All the world’s a stage….“(W. Shakespeare)

Workshop

Laboratory for improvisation

The roles everyday life dictates to us are well known. Parts of them are exciting, some are easy to fulfill, and some are difficult. Yet sometimes we feel the urge to try something new, to step out of the box and go off track. Perhaps, just to see, who we also could be...if? Theatre improvisation can be very helpful to improve playfully our ability to handle difficult situations in an adequate and new way: Starting from our life-experience we bring parts of them on stage, play with them transforming the experience, and then bring them back into our lives. In improvisation we work with our body, movement and voice. The topic of this week – “NO TIME AT ALL” and the atmosphere in Cortona will inspire our work. This immediate common background will be the soil on which playful scenes arise. At the end of the week we will share with the whole Cortona-community what emerged during our week of work and play.
