Thu 10th July - "Impro & Confidence" - how Improvisation can help you feel & act more confident
Thrive in Uncertainty! offers you a welcoming space where the goal isn’t performance... it’s about learning to discover uncertainty as the source of connection, inspiration and innovation.
Whether you're a total beginner, an experienced improviser or simply curious, this soirée is for anybody who wants to connect with a bunch of interesting people (yes, that’s you!) and rediscover playful flow in a community setting.
We’ll explore theatre impro games and creative exercises that help you drop into presence, meet others with openness, and express yourself more freely — no pressure, no stage, no spotlight... Like a rehearsal space for life & leadership - ein Proberaum fürs Leben!
✨ Play not to impress, but to explore
✨ Improvisation as a tool for growth (in awareness, courage, freedom…)
✨ A space to show up as you are, and discover what emerges within & between us.
Doors open at 19:00 with an opportunity to meet & chat over a drink.
We’ll start the active session at 19:30 until about 21:30. More time for chat afterwards.
You might just walk away feeling a little lighter, freer & more connected - and with some concrete tools to help you navigate uncertainty successfully.
This session is for both English and German speakers. Wer lieber auf Deutsch reden & spielen möchte, kann das auch!
Some of our activities will be physical - please wear clothing that is comfortable for you to move in. And be prepared to work in bare feet (no shoes).
A bit about me:
I designed & led the Improvisation programme at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London for 19 years until 2024 when I moved to Berlin. During this time, my Impro students included Cynthia Erivo (Oscar nominee for Wicked and Harriet and Tony & Emmy Awards for The Color Purple), Taron Egerton (Golden Globe winner for his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman), Amy Lou Wood (The White Lotus and Sex Education on Netflix) and Jessie Buckley (Olivier Award winner for Cabaret in London and Oscar nominee for The Lost Daughter).
My background is in theatre directing, making shows in an improvisational devising process. I have directed shows at leading UK theatres including the Young Vic and Soho Theatre in London, and the Traverse in Edinburgh. Two of my shows (100 and Food) won Fringe First awards at the Edinburgh Festival, followed by national and international tours.
My improvisation work was featured in a BBC documentary. One of my devised plays (100) has been selected to form part of the GCSE drama curriculum for secondary schools in the UK where it is studied alongside Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in the UK, and I was recently awarded a Doctorate of Professional Studies at Middlesex University in London for my dissertation The Promise - Searching for the Creative Moment in Theatre, Business and Life.
