Step into the magical world of fairy tales with a group of experienced improvisers! Inspired by the tv series Once Upon A Time, we will discover stories of trust, betrayal, love, adventure and wishes coming true. Or not.
Can the Evil Queen have a change of heart, and save Prince Charming after all? And what if the Genie out of the bottle is actually not on your side?
In this workshop you will learn how to tell dark fairy tales in improvised theatre. We are going to work on your longform skills, like storytelling, pacing, edits and resolving the fairytale. Because ‘happily ever after’ is not the only option.
This class is for you if you would like to strengthen your longform skills. As your teacher and coach, Laura will give you scenes, stories and challenges tailor-made to who you are as an improviser, and where she thinks you have the most opportunity for growth.
A class for players with experience and an excitement to get to work.
This workshop will be in English.

These two improv nerds found each other through improvisation and after their improv world tour in 2019-2020, started teaching and producing theatrical improvisation in Amsterdam. Laura has a background in scripted theatre, dance, business studies, training design, directing plays and entrepreneurship. In her improvisation career, she has been featured at dozens of international festivals and conferences. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, she also coaches other improv teachers. Laura loves slow-motion running, bloody fights, and smoking. But only on stage.
