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.

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.
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.

| 03.04. - 03.04.2025 | IMPRO'25 1-Day-Pass Thursday »Move in Space« with Raschid Daniel Sidgi (en) | |
with Raschid Daniel Sidgi Duration: Thursday Apr 3, 2025 Course Times: 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM Course Units (4 hrs. each): 1 Course Fee: EUR 89.00 (workshop + 1 show ticket) Location: Exploratorium, Zossener Straße 24, 10961 Berlin Level: Advanced/Impro4ever With your 1-Day-Pass you get your workshop-spot and on top free admission to one show of your choice during the festival week. (1st-6th of april) Many improvisers are familiar with the phenomenon: the scene somehow doesn’t get to the ground, the players are stuck in place and try to save themselves with verbal explanations. We often forget that if we don’t play with the space, no image can be created in the minds of the audience. This workshop is about using the space. This refers to the real stage space – our playground as actors – as well as the imagined space inside the actors and spectators. We will experiment with acting techniques for movement in space, focus on narrative arrangements and be inspired by principles from contemporary dance training. Let our bodies feel the space and let it speak, because how we choose to use the space is already half the story.

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!

Maybe you will also find new fellows at the Open Stages, where everyone is allowed on stage, and start your own impro ensemble...
