Lionesses: Women in Improv

This workshop is addressed to women and non-binary people.

In the wild lionesses are hunters, care for their cubs and have been observed to grow manes. What better image for a workshop where we explore, share and practice the craft of improvised theatre through the lens of being a woman or non-male.

It will be filled with bad-ass character work, practising boldness and vulnerability and using our body to express and take action.

This workshop always has a high level of support, playfulness and empowerment, which inspires the improv in new ways.

“The ‘Women in Improv’ workshop was a revelation. In the space of 12 hours, Laura was able to create a safe space in which female improvisors of different ages, countries and backgrounds could band together and overcome or address challenges, which were often shared by almost everyone.

There were so many insights, so many aha moments that emerged from the work we did under Laura’s masterful guidance, that I can wholeheartedly recommend it to any female improvisor who wants to make more empowered choices on and off stage.”
— Kelly Agathos, Improbubble (Brussels)

For the last part of the workshop we will come together and focus on learning from the other gender from the “Man is a Wolf to Man” class and re-discover possibilities for our improv. What are our patterns? How can we best support? And challenge? The goal is to celebrate all our beautiful variations and make our improv more empowered, more interesting and just more awesome.
