Lisbon Improv Classes: Advancing Scene Work

Are you an improviser who wants to improve your skills? Would you like to take your scene work to a higher level? Do you want to discover some new techniques related to keeping the flow going in a scene?

The upcoming Lisbon Improv Classes are an advanced course specifically designed for those who have already tried improvisational theatre and want to build their skills in creating and maintaining a strong scene.

Sharpen your skills in listening, supporting, leading and following. We will practice moving scenes forward together with a focus on timing, connecting themes and characters and their emotionality in relationship.

We will learn about possibilities in storytelling and explore new scene formats like mid form structures. This includes second beats, edits and three-person scenes. We will look deeply into the relationship between the characters, their wants and desires, and explore inner worlds via monologues and the power of silence.

To bring different dynamics into improvisation, we will explore theatrical elements such as movement and rhythm and take a look at genre work.

Basic improv experience is required and this course is open to all levels of language skills.

Lisbon Improv Classes for Beginners

The upcoming Lisbon Improv Classes for Beginners will offer you an insight into the fascinating world of improvisational theatre. By using theatre exercises and techniques you will learn the basic skills of improv: playful spontaneity; group play and teamwork; expression of voice and emotion; body work; imagination; and storytelling.

A scene offers the audience a moment of playfulness - a composition of images or exciting storylines. Turn by turn, the players enter the narrative and follow the story. There are no limits to imagination. Improvisational Theatre encourages spontaneous play, while freeing the players and letting them discover the infinity of possibilities.

Here you will learn the techniques of improvisational theatre, which can also enrich your everyday or professional life. The focus of these classes is on having fun, creating unexpected scenes together, laughing at ourselves and being surprised by the boldness of our own ideas.

No theatre experience is required.
