Diversity

THE WORKSHOP

In the increasingly international world of improv, how do we play with people from backgrounds different from our own? How can our improv shows reflect the richness of our lands, histories, and cultures? How do we use our differences to create unique and beautiful scenes where everybody feels included and connected?

Join this workshop to:
– Build cross-cultural settings
– Find immediate connections with people from any part of the world
– Play engaging characters from very different backgrounds
– Level up your scene work through intercultural context

She has since been performing and teaching across Europe in festivals. Since she moved to Amsterdam in 2018, Tanine has collaborated with the Flock theatre in the core organisation team, as a teacher and performer as well as in the production of many Flock Theatre shows.
