Description
Effective and Saturated Improvisation We relatively often encounter so-called “poking-around scenes” when improvising. These are situations where we offer a multitude of ideas and directions but fail to fully develop any of them. In this workshop, we will learn to focus on the opening moments of a scene and on exploring interesting aspects, rather than constantly generating new ones. Many years ago, Kaspars (he/him) fell in love with improv. Since then, he has studied it and worked with many fantastic improvisers. The biggest cornerstone was his participation in improvisation festivals. In order to introduce Latvian improvisers to international improvisation, he and his like-minded people founded "Improv Comedy Riga" and invited teachers from abroad. During this still ongoing project, over 30 improvisation teachers from different countries visited Latvia. Each of these experiences influenced him and the way he is as an improviser. Kaspars helps to create a supportive community of modern improvisation not only through ICR, but he’s also one of the founders and teachers at Improv Theater Academy in Riga. He loves teaching and believes that he’s learning from every single student as well. Kaspars is looking forward to the opportunity to improvise with you!
