Workshop part one (From 12 to 14 with Mia Møller):

We will work on telling lots of stories together. Later the stories will lead to themes that will lead to different scenic moments in a montage or long form format.

We will also work on other stage openings such as monologues, group games etc. that can inspire us to a longer format to come after.

We will finish the workshop with one or more long forms or Montages.

Workshop part two (From 14 to 16 with Lukáš Tandara):

We will focus on mostly nonverbal collaboration within the group. We will do several exercises using body and voice which can stick the group together for stage work. We will try to find out how can be group leaded on stage by one leader, a come up how can be group leaded by itself.

We will continue with using simple props in many imaginary ways. We will do exercises to use whole space of stage and to create diferent spaces and enviroments on empty stage which can be strong support for your improv stories.

We will also go little bit into body character work mostly done in the group exercises which will fit in the stage stories
