The Art of Spontaneous Performance
Workshop by: Aycil Yeltan
Duration: 2 hours | Active participants: 10+
Description: Improvisation is the art of discovery — an invitation to explore creativity, spontaneity, and truth in the moment. In this inspiring, hands-on workshop, participants will learn to trust their instincts, connect deeply with their inner artist, and respond authentically to any situation. Through guided exercises and playful exploration, Aycil Yeltan helps performers break free from self-consciousness and uncover the joy of presence.
You’ll develop imagination, emotional freedom, and storytelling skills that elevate your performances—on stage, on camera, or in everyday life. Whether you’re an experienced actor or a curious beginner, this session offers tools to cultivate creative flow, adaptability, and truthful expression.
