Improv Weekend Intensives - Duo-prov & Getting Closer

Step into the world beyond words with Finnish improv artist and teacher Kaisa Kokko-Palmer in this immersive weekend intensive.

Across two interconnected days, you’ll explore how time, space, and sound can transform your improv into expressive, theatrical storytelling.

Each day can be taken on its own — or together for a full creative journey.

🩵 Day 1 – Duo-prov (Saturday)
It is wonderful to witness an effortlessly flowing story when two people are connected and trusting each other to go deeper and get a little more vulnerable in their work. This often evokes a variety of emotions on stage as well as in the audience. Duo improv can go beyond our wildest imagination as long as we trust it and each other.

This workshop will be about connecting with a duo partner, creating dynamic scenes with two people (and multiple characters), exploring different worlds, editing techniques, stage pictures and the overall style of a duo show.

(You can take this workshop with an existing duo partner*, sign up with a future duo partner or sign up solo and explore the possibilities and the world of duo improv with fellow workshop participants!) We will start from duo improv basics!

*If people sign up for the workshop with an existing duo, they should think in advance what they want to develop / which things they'd like help with.

🎶 Day 2 – Getting Closer (Sunday)
We see wonderful scenes in films and on theater stages portraying (romantic) love, but for several reasons this rarely happens in improv. How is it possible to create these stories on stage in a way that is safe, comfortable, trusting and honoring boundaries when we don't have a script? How can we express deep believable feelings on stage and get the audience to "aww" with us?

This workshop concentrates on honing our skills in love scenes, experiencing and exploring closeness on stage and sharing our fears, insights and ideas on the theme. By creating a safe environment, we have a wonderful possibility to learn more about getting closer.
