This workshop looks at the three forms of touch - bone to bone touch, muscle to muscle touch and skin to skin touch as a parallel for moments in narrative that are pure conflict, cooperation and forwarding and intimacy and softening, respectively. These build tools for evaluating what a particular scene needs at the moment. This is a narrative Building toolkit workshop that uses physical theatre, embodied practice and scene work.

BOOK A SPOT
Note from Organizer: This workshop involves physical contact of limbs, core and around the back. For a comprehensive learning, a decent amount of push and pull work using bodies, composition work using bodies and some amount of contact to experience the difference between bone to bone pressure, muscle to muscle pressure and skin to skin pressure is significant. You will not be asked for contact beyond your own boundaries.
We are constantly bombarded with thoughts on what these mean. Some people feel that Emotions are key...some feel that Relationships is the way...and others feel that it's all about the game. This workshop will show you how are three are talking about the same thing but just from different perspectives.

Note: This workshop starts at 11:00AM and is a 5 hr class.
Short-form improv is fun, fast, and exciting! Short-form teaches you to get to the point faster, know what makes a scene interesting, practice characters, stick to a single thing, and work together towards the same goal. Whether you want to learn and practice short form or pick up some techniques to improve your long-form play, this workshop is for you. Good short-form games require good scene work within a set of confined rules. Good short form does not rely on gimmicks or repeated moves and characters from our backlog. Instead, it requires knowing game mechanics to free your mind to play in the moment (and even knowing when to bend the rules to benefit the scene). In this workshop, we will cover different categories of short-form games, practicing a selection of each type to learn the mechanics of how to play within each framework.Short Version:Explore short-form improv focusing on strong scene work and free play within structured games. Develop clarity, collaboration, and fast thinking skills to improve short- and long-form play.
Sharing the magic of improv with new students is one of the most rewarding aspects of improv. But it can also be one of the most daunting. This workshop covers how to prepare for a class, design the workshop, run exercises, watch a scene, and how to give notes kindly but directly.
Students will: teach other exercises and get feedback on their teaching, develop a workshop outline and learn to revise it. The class will also discuss how to handle difficult situations, the difference between teaching a workshop and coaching a group and close with a Q&A session.
Students are expected to be experienced improvisers (>60 hours of classes and performing) and bring pen/pencil and a notebook.
*Scholarships are available for teachers of Impro Neuf and community builders. Please contact director@osloimprofestival.com
Improv is rarely a solo endeavor. This workshop will focus on how you can become the best possible partner your teammates could imagine. Games and exercises showing how to listen to what your partner really wants, and turn them into a rockstar. If we’re all doing this for each other, we’re a team of rockstars and we all win!
