What the trainings give you

VARIETY

5 trainers hold 5 thematic trainings during these three days, so you can get to know a variety of improv techniques and try your hand at different colorful and exciting topics.

Intensity

If you think that you can develop better in an intensive course, where you focus on only one topic from morning to night, then this is the place for you.

Playfulness

Summer is (also) about rest and relaxation. With us, you can be a part of playing together with others and experiencing the experience of joint creation, while you can experience many things about yourself and the impro.

INNER FREEDOM

Improvisation is the art of presence, ANYTHING can happen in the Here and Now. What does it take for the freedom of the unknown not to be a scary prospect, but a space of malleable possibilities waiting to be discovered? A safe connection, an experience of independence, free expression of feelings, spontaneity, play and of course flexible but supportive frameworks and boundaries - this is what the participants of the intensive improvisation weekend can expect in the first training session, which sets the mood for the weekend.

 

BEYOND WORDS

Sounds, movements, grimaces, looks, postures, distances. So many exciting tools to build scenes and characters. Which help to nuance a situation and fill it with additional content. Or that can simply give you inspiration, and from which a great scene can simply spring into being. Let's get to know our own toolbox better!

Narrative devices in improvisation performances

The freedom of improvisation allows the story to be told through a variety of means. Their use makes the performance extremely colorful and fluid. External and internal editing, instructions, space and time jumps, parallel scenes and monologues, voice-over, narration and subtitling - these are all techniques that we will learn about during the day.

What is the intensive weekend about?

During the years we spent with improv, we all chose our favorite topics, then specialized and developed our own exercises. During our two-and-a-half-day workshop, our trainers will guide all interested parties to their areas of improvisation, keeping in mind the knowledge level of the participants.

Who are we waiting for?

We warmly welcome everyone who wants intense improv experiences. Don't be put off if you've never done anything like this before, and don't be discouraged if you're a black belt impromptu - this is the place for you! The trainers of Itt és Most Társulat will find the exercises that best suit your skill level.

How is the professional program structured?

During the camp, you can participate in 5 thematic trainings on 5 very different topics.  Get ready for an intense binge-watching dose! Diversity and adventure in the world of impro. You can try different techniques and take what you need out of it.

Which it surely will be

5×3 hours of thematic training

They said about us

"Being in the moment, forgetting the outside world. That's what morning fun means to me. Thanks to the games, I somehow turn off my constantly nagging brain, my compulsion to conform, and turn on my carefree, playful part and forget the outside world, my problems and things to do for three hours. I don't need any preparation, somehow the games bring out thoughts and ideas from me that I don't expect. A cool and accepting atmosphere develops, where there really is no wrong decision or bad sign, and it is not a tragedy if I feel that something did not go so well. I learn a lot about myself and about playing together with a partner, about paying attention to each other, which then seeps into my everyday life. And I'm also learning a lot about impro, which is a wonderfully cool technique for increasing courage. 🙂"

"The impro gave me a new social experience, friends, and a new opportunity to relax. It helped me to be more relaxed even on weekdays, not to overthink so much. I got interesting experiences about myself, how I react in unexpected situations. There are no right or wrong answers in improvisation, I don't want to conform, and this is already being carried over into everyday life."

"I have been participating in the courses and lectures of the Itt és Most Társulat for the fifth year. What does the impro give me? 180 minutes of intense relaxation in the company of kind, intelligent people. A total escape from the monotony of everyday life. When I cross the 15th gate of Erkel utca, I arrive in another universe, where I can be anyone, anything can happen. Each occasion is a surprise, you cannot predict how the story will turn out that day. It's like Kinder eggs, only more exciting and not fattening."

"The Morning Fun Game gave me unconditional childlike joy and play, self-forgetful play, and the experience of states of consciousness and moods and their alternation that I have rarely experienced anyway, especially so intensely and rapidly alternating, in a safe environment."

"When I first stumbled upon the Here and Now workshop, I had no idea that there was no more ideal place for me to recharge my creative energies. It frees you, makes you more attentive to others and lets your imagination fly. It teaches you the power of silence, gesture and voice - optimal self-expression."

"This team really knows their stuff! 😉
With a professional, well-prepared, professionally and personally well-trained teaching staff, with colorful performances for both children and adults. I like to study with them, because with the knowledge I learn from them in the courses and the experiences I have with them, I can assert myself better in other areas of life. It helps me release my inhibitions, express my feelings, find the words I'm looking for faster and be more flexible. I love improv, the world really needs this genre, because it strengthens our uniqueness and it is the only chance for us to control our lives. I will be free by the end of the day and that will define my week. Thanks."

"Why do I like to improvise? At first, I was skeptical when a friend invited me to the group to see if it would work for me, I would definitely be better at traditional acting, when you have to play a specific, predictable role. I fell in love with improv because…

  1. it disconnects me from my thoughts and everyday problems
  2. creative, develops spontaneity, reactions, attention to others, which can also be used in real-life situations
  3. develops vocabulary
  4. as a language teacher, I can also draw inspiration from a game in my work
  5. the company is good, you can e.g. to get to know other sole proprietors and like-minded people"

"I love walking so much that I would prescribe it for everyone or give it as a gift. Perfect relaxation. When I'm there, it really happens in the "here and now", it's such an enjoyable, fast-paced, filling game, you can turn everything off in the meantime. It is also excellent for self-knowledge. You can put away your learned and practiced roles and be a fun kid again, play a hysterical boss, anything you can think of and even have a good laugh about it."

Super friendly and good company."
