Munich Free-Form Improv Master Class *2 Days*
2024-08-03 12:00 - 2024-08-04 18:00 (Europe/Paris) | Elisabethplatz, Munich
Free-Form opens up the doors to a whole new world of improv theater. In this workshop, we’ll focus on finding and following the key elements found within scenes to create a continued, seamless flow. Munich style Free form is a fun mix of skills we may recognize from the Harold, LaRonde, and short form improv formats all rolled into one. The idea is to follow threads throughout the format while exploring and diving in deeper to discover even more humorous and interesting moments. You’ll learn various editing techniques for both long or mid-form improv, creating endless possibilities and advancements for any scene or future format!
This is a two-day Master Class. The price covers 2 days
Day One: Saturday, August 3, from 12:00 – 18:00
Day Two: Sunday, August 4, from 12:00 – 18:00

Fuel the Furnace Improv Workshop - Finding Deeper Layers of Meaning
2025-05-17 12:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Elisabethplatz, Munich
Improvisation is a tool to create fantastic, hilarious, or thought-provoking scenes on stage. When you start to chain those scenes together, you and your scene partners can discover deeper layers of meaning, narrative or consequence, far beyond any expectations you might have had when you entered the scene. As you begin to explore narrative long-form, it’s easy to get stuck in your head, worrying about what ‘should’ happen next, but the spark required to tell an improvised story is always kindled between you and your scene partner. Transforming that spark into a fire of narrative that can burn for half an hour, or an hour, or even longer, needs the right kind of fuel. This workshop will explore what is needed to kindle that fire, from awareness of story structure to the creation of well-rounded characters and textured environments. The workshop relies on all participants having some existing experience with improvisation, and would not suit someone with no prior improv experience.
The workshop will be taught in English by Paul Ayris from Bake This Improv. Paul has been improvising in Munich since 2014, starting out at a Bake This open jam, and subsequently starting an improv community space in the city. Paul joined Bake This in 2016, and since then, has been a regular cast member in their signature long-form musical formats. In 2017, Paul co-founded Impro 9 From Outer Space, a long-form performance group with a science-fiction theme, and between 2016-2024, coordinated the Storytellers Night house improv team. When not engaged in any of the above, Paul is a seasoned dungeon master, working with improvisers and actors in rules-light systems with a focus on collaborative storytelling.
Note: The early-bird ticket is bookable until April 21, 2025. After this time, you can book a regular or student ticket. The exact location at Elisabethplatz will be sent to you once you purchase a ticket.

Shining Through Supporting – All Levels
True power lies in the people who won’t let you fall when you take that first step into the unknown. In improvisation, it’s the players who lift each other up that make the whole ensemble shine. In this workshop, we’ll explore the art of letting go of ego in order to truly serve the scene — and each other. Together, we’ll cultivate a safe and inviting space where everyone feels seen, heard, loved, and inspired to play.
With attentive eyes and open hearts, we’ll learn to recognize the small signs — a twitch, a hesitation, a flicker of doubt — and respond with unwavering support. Through this, we bring out the best in our scene partners and ourselves.
We’ll revisit foundational concepts of on-stage support, build reliable support mechanisms, and maybe even discover some new ones. Now more than ever, it’s important to remember that an ensemble is a (temporary) community — and as Alexandre Dumas put it: “All for one, and one for all!”
Sara Šoukal (Slovenia) is a seasoned theater artist, actress, and pedagogue, best known for her work in theatrical improvisation—her first and lasting love since the age of nine. Her improv style is poetic, physical, dream-like, and richly detailed. She thrives on breaking patterns and pushing creative boundaries, aiming to establish improv as a recognized theater subgenre. Recently, she’s been exploring other performative forms, including street theater, devised theater, contemporary dance, object theater, and clowning. One of Slovenia’s most prominent improvisers, Sara also collaborates internationally and has taught or performed in over 20 countries across Europe, the Americas, and Australia.
Note The Early Bird Price is available until October 1, 2025.
