Workshops of the Ida Improv Artists in Residence 2024

As part of the “Ida Improv Artists in Residence” programme, we offer two weekend workshops for experienced improvisers in September/October 2024. The instructors and topics are not decided yet, but you can already mark your calendars for 28–29 September and 5–6 October! All workshops are taught by professional improv instructors, who do not usually teach in Switzerland. More information about the workshops will follow soon!

The following information applies to all workshops that are part of the “Artists in Residence” programme:

  • All workshops have a duration of two full days, Saturday and Sunday, 10 to 17h (including a lunch break).
  • On Sunday, the second day of the workshop, there is a student show case with all workshop participants from 18 to 19 h.
  • The workshops are taught in English, but you do not need to be a language expert to participate. It’s sufficient if you are able to make yourself understood in English.
  • All workshops are limited to 12 participants.
  • The workshops are aimed at advanced improvisers, who practice regularly and who have attended various courses previously (rule of thumb: more than 100 hours of courses or other forms of instruction by highly experienced improv instructors). If you are unsure whether these workshops are suitable for you, just talk to us.
