Improvisually Speaking challenges you to dive into a world where the stage is a canvas and the improvisers are the artists who create a visual feast to inspire characters and scenes. The cast will use drawings, paints and their own bodies to create stories and invite you to join their journey across different media.
Improvisational theater can be a very artistic and an aesthetic visual form of art, if you know where to look. Improvisually Speaking is a new concept for a long form format that combines visual and artistic elements with improvisational play. Sara is keen to develop and try out this new format with an experienced group of enthusiastic improvisers.
In this Lab Sara will offer the group tools to get inspired by two dimensional art, both concrete and abstract, to create a multi-layered and visual performance at the end of the weekend.
Improvisually Speaking will focus mostly on visual, dynamic and physical elements, less on words and dialogue.

Sara De Sable
Sara de Sable is a Dutch/English theatrical improviser and community artist living and working in Brussels.
She studied Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, but always experimented with the performative elements of visual arts, and with her own body as visual material. She is a professionally active improviser in and around Brussels, and teaches improv and art in the socio-artistic sector.
She also works as a producer for a young theater collective.
Sara is part of several improv teams and shows, Huntress & Healer amongst others, and often hosts improv jams for Improbubble.
She has an improv duo show with a local musician, called SPLONK!, where an exchange between sound, music and visual art and the audience's input are the focus. Sara has made several visual site-specific/interactive installations in public space over the last thirteen years. She also teaches improv to youngsters, kids, and people who are learning Dutch.
With a love of authentic, quirky and vulnerable improv, she is not afraid to show herself on stage and invite you into her universe.
