Improvisation for the Theatre with Tung Jit Yang will introduce improvisation fundamentals to participants working and interested in theatre and performance. Improvisation is a key in every creative process - it is an adventure into the unknown, it is a tapping into the intuition, it is a surrender to your own creative genius.
Do you sometimes feel unsure of where or how to begin your performance or presentation? Do you feel too self-conscious and nervous on stage or in front of others? Do you hope to best express yourself, your feelings, your story to others? A training in improvisation can begin to solve these fundamental problems of theatre and performance.
Improvisation can be trained, developed, and honed: whether you are a non-performer, or performing artist with experience, these “Improvisation for the Theatre” workshops aim to grow and feed your personal practice whilst learning, having fun, and collaborating with like minded individuals.
