1. Do I need any experience to join?
No. This weekend is for anyone curious about being more present, playful, and connected. Impro experience or none at all—you’re welcome. Some participants have been doing it for years, and some are just starting.

2. What if I’m shy, nervous, or feel out of place?
That’s completely fine. This retreat is built to include you exactly as you are. Nothing to prove, nothing to perform. Just start where you are and let things unfold.

3. Will I have to perform?
Not if you don't want to. It's all Open Space: you only do what feels right for you. Sometimes things will be funny, but we’re not aiming for it.

4. Will I have to be funny?
Sometimes things will be funny, but we’re not aiming for it.

5. What actually happens during a class?
We breathe, stretch, move, play, speak, and rest. Some games are full-body and wordless. Others are about listening, timing, and presence. If it's a retreat, there’s food, silence, laughter, and space to do nothing at all.

6. What should I bring?
Clothes that you can move and rest in. If it's a retreat, shoes or boots for walking, swimsuit, mosquito repellent, allergy medication if needed and anything that helps you feel at ease. We’ll take care of the rest.

7. What do people leave with?
A quieter mind. Looser body. Sharper attention. A sense of having been part of something real.

8. How many people will be there?
Usually around 6 to 8 people for a class or a retreat. Enough to play, small enough to stay close. It can be much more in a jam, six to 40 in our experience.

It’s about the deep relief of presence. Of being real, without the armour. With space to rest, to move, to laugh, and to reconnect—with yourself, with others, with now.

Benefits of Bold and Physically Engaged Improvisation:

1. Confidence Boost: Engaging the body in improvisation fosters a sense of confidence, allowing participants to trust their intuition and take creative risks.
2. Enhanced Teamwork Skills: Physically engaged improv promotes teamwork as participants practice non-verbal communication and learn to respond spontaneously to each other's gestures.
3. Flexibility and Adaptability: Real-time dynamic physicality cultivates flexibility and adaptability, valuable skills applicable in numerous professional and personal situations.
4. Positive Communication: By relying on body language and movement, participants open up to their surroundings and develop positive communication skills, fostering a deeper connection with their peers.
5. Increased Creativity: Physically engaging in improv helps break through mental barriers and encourages independent thinking.
