Building trust - On Saturday

Hallo Rice Grains,

To spontaneously create a scene out of thin air, on stage in front of a live audience, we have to trust our fellow actors to make them look good. Trust is the invisible thread that ties teams together. As we know from our personal relationships, trust isn’t something that can be forced. Even if you want to trust someone, your history with that person, or even your own background, can keep you from sharing openly. We will begin with improv games designed to get us thinking collaboratively while practising trust with each other. Then we will focuss on listening and accepting. At the end it will be showtime and we will put all our trust in practice.

Beginners and experienced players are more than welcome!

We will meet this Saturday at 15:00 near the bridge at the Englisch Garten:

Due to the Corona regulations, we will have a maximum of 20 participants and we need to log who comes. Reserve your place here:

Because we are going to get into the moment while playing the first games, please be on time. If you have flu or cold symptoms during the 3 days before, we will be thankful if you stay at home. Next Saturday and Tuesday there will be improv again!

Looking forward to have fun with you!
