Improv Theatre Workshops at Halton Mill with Awkwardly Quiet
Three workshops exploring improvised theatre and comedy with international duo Awkwardly Quiet. Attend any one, two or all three!
==============================
About the workshops:
==============================
------------------------------
13 April 10am-5pm
PHYSICAL THEATRE AND IMPROV
------------------------------
Improvisation does not need to be funny. It needs to be fun! This workshop is not about telling jokes, it is about having creative fun as a team. No previous experience required, but recommended. Whether your goal is to work in theatre, be more comfortable in your body, or just try something new, this workshop is open to anyone wanting to play!
------------------------------
18 May 10am-5pm
WHO AM I? - CHARACTER WORKSHOP
------------------------------
This workshop aims to help develop tools to create and maintain characters throughout scenes, shows or runs of shows. It is focused towards creating characters on the spot through improvisation, but the tools are useful for any acting environment.
------------------------------
19 May 10am-5pm
PLAYING NICE WITH OTHERS - IMPROVISED SCENES
------------------------------
This workshop aims to help develop the players awareness of self, co-players and the scene as a whole. How do I playfully find the next and most helpful choice to move the scene forward? When do I talk? When do I not? How? And why? Through the participants exploration of improvised scenes we will ask these questions, and many more.

About Awkwardly Quiet:
==============================
Awkwardly Quiet is international improvisational theatre duo Lecoq-trained actor Andreas Södermark (Sweden) and award winning comedy performer Lizzy Mace (UK).
Andreas Södermark (SWE) is an improviser and teacher of physical theatre. After a decade of improvising in Sweden he travelled to Chicago and trained extensively at iO, The Annoyance and The Second City, where he performed regularly with the weekly faculty jam. While in Chicago he also connected with Paola Coletto, protégé of Jacques Lecoq and director of The School For Theatre Creators. He completed their two year training programme as well as the individualised pedagogical third year of this movement oriented approach.
Lizzy Mace (UK) is an actor and teacher focusing on comedy and improv performance. She trained in acting at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London, and in improv and sketch writing at The Second City, Chicago. She has performed at IMPRO Amsterdam, The Sweden International Improv Festival, ImproFestUK and the Edinburgh, Adelaide and Brighton Fringes. Lizzy had her first taste of improv as a teenager at Saturday Drama Factory classes in Lancaster and is delighted to be back!
Andreas and Lizzy met in Chicago at The Second City in 2013, and are now teaching and performing together internationally.
Drawing on 30 years combined experience of improvised performance, they invite participants to connect more to their physical and emotional selves to rediscover a sense of freedom and playfulness. This allows more awareness of oneself and ones surroundings, empowering each player to be an independent, co-creative performer.
"True improv is an art and Mace and Södermark are Da Vincis at it."
