    We tend to stick to stereotypes, and we tend to group people in stereotypes as well, without actually realizing it. How many times have we seen a woman performing the typical secretary on stage, while the man is playing the bad boss of a business? Wouldn’t it be cool to see the opposite roles, going against the stereotypes? In this workshop we will challenge our brain to think differently, while at the same time we will explore all the characters we can do by using our body and voice in a more exotic way, using combinations we have hardly ever seen. We will go from practicing typically high and low status to more advanced stuff, getting more concerned about what we are doing, particularly with our body and voice, and we will avoid usual habits and stereotypes.

    ”How can I do a cartwheel in an improv scene without it looking ridiculous? And how can I improve my physical skills to become more versatile on the stage?” Using the body in the most extreme way can be riskful, but with some simple techniques it can be safe –even in improv! Jacintha Damström will show you different techniques on how to strengthen your body and how to interact with other improvisers in a safe way through the world of acrobatics. We will focus on both solo and group workouts, stretching, and (of course) on some scenes! No acrobatic skills are needed, just an eagerness to challenge your own body is required.
