IMPROV SCHOOL
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.
We invite you to »Spielen und Schnabulieren«!
Save the Date! Sunday 11.06.!
From 15:30 we will have a barbecue, the Open Stage starts at 18:00.
Whether you are an improv student or just curious about the improv school: come over, bring friends and if you like, a cake or a salad on top. We are organizing a barbecue in the yard of the Ratibor Theatre. Sausages (as well vegetarian options) and Bread is on us. Drinks will be available at the bar. From 15:30 we meet, celebrate the summer, playing improv and the community that we have.
At 18:00 the Open Stage will start. In the first half we are happy to welcome »Die Bunsenbrenner«, »The Shakedown« and »Notausgang« on the stage of the Ratibor! In the second half we will play together with you, our improv students. It doesn't matter if you're an experienced workshop-attendee or if you've just had a taste of improv - if you like spontaneity, we'll play with you this afternoon. We are looking forward to seeing you!
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.

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!

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.

The motto for this level is: do what interests you, what takes you further and makes you happy. Acting, dramaturgy, long form ... Here you can dive deeper into improv. Either you take long term classes over a few months or short courses on a special topic every once in a while. In some (marked) courses there will not always be an instructor around, because improv also is self-organisation. If you want to play: Impro-Sessions are open to all students of this level. The stage at Ratibor Theater is yours for this night. Enjoy!

The class will focus on: scenes work: creating Narrative and a story arch in a short scene edit techniques: finding edit points from and outside of the scene as individuals and ensemble inspiration: what does it mean and how can we best use it Ensemble work: How to support our partners and pump up their offers to build a unique improvised piece that in the end seems like it was planned from the start |
