Improv Workshop: Digging Deeper Join us for a Digging Deeper Workshop where you will have the opportunity to challenge yourself and stretch your skills no matter what your experience level of Improv is! We are so excited to announce a new workshop format for the 2023/24 season. The Digging Deeper workshops will involve the opportunity to stretch your skills whatever your experience level.

Open to all levels of experience; modifications will be available for newcomers Location: Oscars Bar & Kitchen (upstairs room) in Grund. 9 Bisserweg, L-1238 Luxembourg.

Yes, the Digging Deeper workshops are not just for improvisers, and will be helpful for other performers or people who just want to try it out. Do I have to buy a ticket in advance?

Improv is based upon the principle of ‘yes and’ meaning we accept what has been offered to us and build upon it. We make scenes on the spot based on a prompt, and see where the muse takes us. Teamwork, active listening, commitment, accepting mistakes and celebrating failure are all key to Improv and all of these skills can have positive effects outside the workshops in our personal and professional lives. Melissa strives to create a warm, supportive and safe environment where there is no pressure to be clever or funny; where you can just be yourself and most of all have tonnes of fun!
