During the four Tuesdays of this Mini Bubble Sara will take you along on a deep dive into the challenging long-form format of the Monoscene.
We’ll explore how to create compelling, grounded, and dynamic improvised theatre inside a single shared space.
Rather than relying on fast edits and the big plot monster, we’ll develop the skills that tap into the core of the Monoscene: emotional truth, patient storytelling, and group awareness.
We’ll combine focused exercises with longer Monoscene runs, giving you space to experiment, take risks, and stretch your improvisational range.
By the end of the series, you’ll be more confident playing slowly, listening deeply, and creating stories that feel lived-in and meaningful.
So if you want to challenge yourself, strengthen your acting skills, and expand your long-form toolkit, this mini bubble is for you!
Ideal for intermediate improvisers who have been through Improbubble’s starting steps at least, or who have accumulated similar experience from elsewhere.
What you’ll learn
Building and sustaining a clear, believable environment
Letting tension and subtext drive the scene
Layered characters and interesting relationships
Sharing focus with the group
Finding beautiful and funny through presence — not invention
Who this is for
This is one of our Bubbles. These courses are intended for improvisers who already have an understanding of the basics, perhaps (but not necessarily) through our own Starting Steps courses and then have taken some other basic intermediate courses too, to have strong foundational skills. If you’re wondering which course is right for you, then feel free to email us.
This particular course is suitable for intermediate and advanced improvisers and we particularly welcome performers who are in a troupe or forming one. Or any improvisers working on a show- this will turbocharge your production values!
About the teacher
Sara de Sable
Sara de Sable is a Dutch/English theatrical improviser, writer 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.
Sara is part of several improv teams and shows, teaches at Improbubble, and also often hosts improv jams.
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.
