We've done some house-cleaning recently (who hasn't?!) and discovered our last price evaluation for courses, shows and workshops was in 2015 (doh!). In recent times, understandbly, we've been limited to the amount of people we can have at our events but, our costs have remained the same. All this to say: it's time for some price changes to keep the easylaughs gears turning. We want to give you some time to adjust so, we'll offer our 2020 prices until the end of January!

Alrighty, in Improvisation Level 1, we learned the fundamentals of comedy improv. Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and breathe some life into our improv characters and relationships. Strong characters and meaningful relationships make an improv scene more engaging and enjoyable to watch. When we clearly establish our characters and relationships, we make it easier for our scene partners to react to our choices.

In Improvisation Level 2 you will:

• learn the skills used in creating a character
• learn how to anchor your characters in a certain point of view or emotional choice
• understand that bigger, emotional characters are more compelling to watch
• learn to let your character's emotion drive your choices
• expand your imagination and the different characters you can play
• challenge yourself by playing relationships the audience cares about
• get better at conveying emotion and picking up the emotion of your scene partner
• develop your acting skills to bring your characters to life
• learn how to root your characters in reality
• build up an arsenal of characters you can utilise on stage

After the fun-filled 8-week class, you get to flex your characters and relationships in your very own graduation show. You also get to enjoy FREE easylaughs Friday shows*, Sunday workshops* for the duration of your course. All courses and workshops are in English language and in Amsterdam.

*Please note: We offer free shows and workshops when available. We are currently limited to the amount of people we can accommodate due to COVID-19 restrictions. We are also subject to show and/or workshop cancellations due to COVID-19.

If COVID measures don't allow class to continue in person, we will continue class online.
