IMPROV ÍSLAND – IMPROV IN ENGLISH
This June, Improv Ísland will host an improv acting seminar in English. We teach comedy improvisation in the style of UCB.
Our workshops are typically taught in Icelandic, and our weekly performances at Þjóðleikhúskjallarinn are also performed in Icelandic. This summer, we are excited to offer both a one time English-language show and a seminar for international participants and English-speaking locals.
The seminar introduces the fundamental principles of improvisation in a fun, supportive, and encouraging environment. Participants will explore key improv concepts such as “Yes, and…” and “the first thing that comes to mind” — approaches that are valuable not only in performance, but also in creative work and everyday life.
English-language improv show: May 27
Seminar begins: June 8th Mondays and Thursdays, 19:00–22:00 8 sessions total
Location: Austurstræti 5
Instructor: Gunnlöð Jóna Rúnarsdóttir
