“Effective and Saturated Improvisation” workshop with Kaspars Silavs (Latvia)

We often encounter so-called poking-around scenes in improv: situations where we offer lots of ideas and directions but never fully develop any of them. In this workshop we learn to focus on the opening moments of a scene and explore interesting aspects, rather than constantly generating new ones. Kaspars Silavs fell in love with improv many years ago and has studied it with many great improvisers.

He took part in improv festivals and, with like-minded people, founded Improv Comedy Riga to bring Latvian improvisers into contact with international improv, inviting teachers from abroad; over 30 teachers from different countries have visited Latvia. He is also one of the founders and teachers of the Improv Theater Academy in Riga. An improv workshop organised by Rahel Otsa Improkool, Vene tänav 6, Tallinn, 14 November, 11:00.
