About Improv School
Improv is good for your heart, risible muscle and all senses. It sharpens your perception and respect. It is about playing, following, leading, letting go and fooling around. Improv gives energy, makes you feel good and it makes you smart.
When you decide to get deeper into improvising after a taster weekend, you can start as a Beginner and continue as an Advanced. We recommend two Beginner's and two Advanced classes before moving on to the Stage Class. But ultimately, its your decision for how long you want to participate in each level. Please notice, that you can attend Stage Class only once. If you want to continue improvising after Stage Class the Impro4ever-Classes with different improv topics are open to you. At the Impro Sessions you have the chance to perform in front of the audience. Maybe you also find companions at the workshops to find your own improv ensemble ... If you are already playing in an improv group but still want to improve your skills, just take part in our Performer Classes.
No matter what level you are improvising in, we look forward to you and wish you a lot of joy, fun and courage!
Curious to see what improv's all about? Try it! If you want, you can continue with a beginner's class afterwards.

After participating in a Taster Weekend (required), you're learning the basic skills of good improvisation. Each instructor defines these a little differenty. But we all agree: different ideas are the salt in the improv-soup. Playfulness, courage and mindfulness are the most important ingredients. We recommend two consecutive classes in the beginner's level before you move on to the next level. Because practice makes perfect.

These mixed courses are for both absolute beginners and experienced students. After all, it’s all about playing with each other!
If this is your first time improvising, let the buffs pull you along and show you the ropes. As for all you experienced players - you’ll benefit from remembering the basics of improv, and the ‘newbies' might even breathe some new life into your performance! Have fun!

You understood the improv-basics, laughed a lot and sometimes quarreled with yourself. You are now standing at the threshold to the next step. And that is continuous rehearsing. In some (marked) courses of this level there is an improv musician teaching every now and then, that you can learn how music guides you through a scene. Practice in this level as long as you need to feel ready for Stage Class.

Impro is a craft, so is acting. Getting to grips with both broadens your view of characters and scenes. And it's fun, too. Try it out!
Neue Kurse in Vorbereitung
On the last workshop day the whole class plays a show at the Ratibor Theater supported by their instructor. That's why in class you intensively practise acting and editing techniques, communication with the audience, and how you can support the other performers from off-stage. After the show there will be a final feedback meeting. And then you are ready for the next level: Impro4ever.

After you have gained some stage experience, you can now go deeper and deeper into improv. Either you continue to practice in the open »playground«-classes or/and you attend thematic courses on special topics (acting, dramaturgy, music, long forms,... ). See what interests you, brings you further and makes you happy. And maybe you'll even meet people with whom you'd like to start your own improv group. So keep your eyes open, and your heart too!

with Inbal Lori Duration: Fridays 20.10. - 08.12.2023 Course Times: 15:00 - 17:00 Course Units (2 hrs. each): 8 + Show on 05.12.2023, 19:00 at Ratibor Theater Course Fee: 189,- Registration Deadline: 10.10.2023 Location: Europäisches Theaterinstitut (ETI), Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin »You are the content« If no one is writing our lines of text. If nobody directs us or chooses the interpretation for how we do what we do, it basically means one thing – we are the content of everything we improvise. Everything we are, everything we know, love, hate, think, heard of or experienced ourselves, could and should be legitimate material for our improvisation. Improvising does not mean being anything different than yourself. It means being yourself in different ways. It means taking the experience of being a human being in this complex, wonderful world and pouring it into the scenes/story/character we play. This workshop will focus on exploring and developing your world of content, and the specific things you could bring to the stage, so that you could use and implement it in your performance. In my opinion this makes us rich, funny and inspiring improvisers. The workshop will be followed by a show at the Ratibor Theater on December 5. Here you can find more info about our pricing structure and the terms and conditions. |

Therapy is an improvised collaborative artform. The clinician must remain open, curious, flexible, and playful as the session unfolds, moment by moment.

This training is aimed for clinicians who have taken part in Ninja training level 1 or had several years of improvisation training. The training will be highly experiential and will include a theoretical component together with ample time to practice improvisational skills with a like-minded peer group of clinicians. Time will be given for Q&A and peer supervision. In this training you will learn: l Lean the basic terminology of Ninja Therapy. l How to enjoy and leverage “mis-takes” in the clinical encounter l How to become a clinical Status expert to achieve communicational mastery l The art of the clinical chair l The art of clinical eye contact l The art of the double l How to deal with the holy trinity of blocking l How to deal creatively and generatively with conflict in the clinical hour. l How to bring more of you authentically in order to help you client be more authentic. l And more… *** The order and content of material taught will depend on the pace and needs of the group.
