How to create amazing longforms

This workshop is for you if you…

…are an improviser with experience in longform wishing to take your longform skills to the next level of awesomeness!

How can we create longform that is fun, captivating, varied, deep, highly entertaining, funny and that the audience loves as much as we do? The clear answer is: by putting more nutella on our breads.

„The Nutella Technique“ is a 6 hours intensive workshop in which you will learn to instantly improve your longform formats – whether they be narrative, montage or American-style longforms. We will focus on finding the fun in improvising longer pieces – both for the players as well as the audience. The workshop gives you a simple yet effective tool to take home to your ensemble and to immediately apply to all of your formats.

Participation fee: €75 for 6h of workshop, including lunch.
Previous improv experience (including some longform) is required.
Maximum 12 participants.
