Improvised theatre is an art form where everything is created on the spot by the players on stage. This workshop will focus on how to tune in to both individual and group intuition while improvising. Students get a chance to explore in a safe place what will happen when they give up on fear of making mistakes and let go of excessive control. At best the group will attain an experience of collective subconscious, intuitive group mind.

TESTIMONIALS

“Julia brought out the theory base nicely and without shame. She created with her positive and accepting nature the security to throw yourself into new. I was also able to fully trust that she has internalised her values and the things she wants to pass on to others. Everyone was equally allowed to have a voice and express their thoughts.”

 

“Julia created a gentle and accepting atmosphere where one is allowed to be insecure and wonder.”

 

“Expertise without showing off! Joy, positivity, sensitivity, listening and presence.”

“Julia is incredibly approachable by her own being, at the same time so calm and yet thrown to the fullest. Her knowledge base in this course was broad, and used to bring it to a practical level very naturally. Julia takes everyone into account with a big heart.”
