Taught by Eniko Varga. ● Do you enjoy the special wibe of Girl’s night? ● Do you tell yourself you’re not funny and you are nervous to do something creative? ● Do you tell yourself you’re very funny and can’t wait to try yourself out in comedy? Yes? :) Then this 3-hour beginner stand-up workshop for ladies might be just for you :) First we will do some exercises which help to get in touch with your creativity. Then we will have a brief introduction into standup comedy through brainstorming and writing exercises. We will then look into how to generate ideas beyond mainstream female comedy topics (which are for example dating, body hair, sex, your home country versus where you now live if you’re an expat). I believe we can find the FUN in anything if we look for it and go deep in one topic. You can write a set about a bathroom floor which is difficult to clean, or try to make up jokes building on Buddhist wisdom patterns, there’s so much room for your unique content and point of view! Throughout the 3 hours we will gradually move from feeling awkward towards laughing and having fun. By the end of the workshop you will have your first short material ready, which will give you the confidence to keep going and exploring your writing!!! Booking online in advance is required. Donate to easylaughs and help us help people discover improv & stand-up! 100% of your donation will go the easylaughs Scholarship program.

DAT!school bestaat 15 jaar en dat vieren we met de supercoole jeugdtheatervoorstelling André het Astronautje!Hoe word je een goede astronaut? Moet je weten waar de planeten staan? En hoe kom je daar eigenlijk, in de ruimte? In André het astronautje onderzoekt een kleine jongen deze vragen vanachter zijn computer. Met behulp van het internet leert hij alles wat hij moet weten over de ruimte en bereidt hij zich voor op zijn reis naar de maan. Hij is druk in de weer op aardbol.com. Hij zoekt en klikt en het ene na het andere pakket wordt bezorgd. Uit één doos haalt hij de aarde, uit een volgende de loeihete zon. Het zonnestelsel ontstaat in vloeiende bewegingen, ondersteund door prachtige muziek. Objecten worden magisch mooi. De jongen bouwt en repareert, zo reist hij uiteindelijk met een zelfgebouwde raket naar de maan. Eenmaal op de maan gaat hij op onderzoek en doet hij een bijzondere ontdekking. In deze solovoorstelling, met o.a. de stem van André Kuipers bijgestaan door unieke soundscapes van componist en muziekkunstenaar Daan van West, maken de kinderen op speelse wijze kennis met de ruimtevaart, het leven als astronaut én met onze kwetsbare planeet. Het is een theatrale vertaling van Kuipers’ boek André het astronautje, waarin hij laat zien hoe wondermooi de aarde is, dat techniek en wetenschap superleuk zijn en hoe gaaf het is om dromen waar te maken. Na afloop is er taart en een drankje om te proosten op DAT! 15 jaar! Information Source: DAT!school | eventbrite
