Who this is for
This is one of our Academy classes. These courses are intended for ambitious and advanced improvisers who already have at least 2-3 years of impro experience (including performance experience) who want to level up and work at a professional or semi-professional level.
There will be an audition and application process to select the participants for this course. Successful applicants will also be considered for future ImproBubble productions with our professional troupes.
Feedback will be an essential component of this course, as will a personal commitment from each individual to attend a production training as well as to take personal responsibility in the promotion of this show. The participants’ presence at each class is a requirement; it will be up to the discretion of the director whether they get to perform if there are absences.
About the teacher
Vincent Van Nieuwenhuyze
Vincent is a professional improv teacher, player and coach from Ghent, Belgium. By day he’s kicking ass in the corporate world. By night, and sometimes even in the daytime, he’s playing improv. He has performed in over 8 troupes for over 12 years and has been teaching improv in Belgium and on the international improv circuit for over 7 years.
Some key elements to what Vincent brings to the scene are intimacy, warmth, safety, vocals and a tons of energy to surf on. Within the field of improv, he loves refreshing the basics and keeping the fun in the fundamentals. Throughout the last couple of years, Vincent has taken a deep dive into the topic of intimacy on stage as well on the topic of gender in improv and on stage. And what he doesn’t want you to forget is, “you be you!”.
