How often have you played a scene where you're riding a motorcycle that slides under a truck just before it explodes? And how often does a scene just start with two people drinking coffee?
Which type of scene would you rather play more often?
On Saturday, 16 May, Expat Improv welcomes Dutch performer and master trainer Laura Doorneweerd-Perry to Düsseldorf for a four-hour deep dive into the physical, spatial, and kinetic side of improvisation. Think cinematic energy. Movement with purpose. The kind of stage that crackles.
What You'll Work On
✓ Creating exciting action scenes on stage ✓ Using body, focus, and gaze to define space ✓ Building levels, angles, and dynamic environments ✓ Physical storytelling: movement, chases, and stage combat style play ✓ Expanding your creativity and stage presence
In this workshop we focus on the skills needed to create epic action scenes on stage. Using body awareness, spatial focus, and an eye for cinematic structure, Laura will guide participants in transforming the stage into a multi-layered environment — with movement, depth, and genuine filmic energy. No props. No set. Just intention, commitment, and the willingness to go big.
The workshop runs in plain English, with German translation available on request. It's designed for improvisers with some existing stage experience.
