Workshop Jakop Ahlbom Company by Luc van Esch (https://www.jakopahlbom.com/)
Jakop Ahlbom was born in Sweden in 1971. In the early 1990s he moved to the Netherlands where he studied Mime at the Amsterdam School of the Arts. Upon his graduation in 1998 he was presented with the Top Naeff award for the most promising student. His gift for choreography had been noticed – and so had his poeticism and his ability to get his cast to unleash their energy, bravado and physicality. In the past two decades he has been working on his own, idiosyncratic oeuvre.
During this workshop you will be working with ‘wonderbox’. This is a box of cards Jakop Ahlbom uses in the studio when creating new material. The workshop will be taught by Luc van Esch. Luc van Esch has studied Mime at the academy, has been working with Jakop for a long time and is one of the performers in the succesfull horror performance that toured through the Netherlands last year.

Workshop "Do It Yourself Deconstruction Fashion” - Maaike Visser
Create your own anti-fashion identity.
This “inspirational meeting” is about modifying clothes in the broad sense of the word.
The process of breaking down conventions and normal boundaries of clothes by cutting, deforming, folding, attaching something to it and joining different pieces in a daring way. Destroying and constructing, decomposing and re-assembling.
You need to bring your own clothes or material. There is a container with residual materials in the studio to add things to the things you brought yourself.

Workshop:Kasper Tarenskeen is a writer and director at Theater Oostpool, who makes new plays about young people and their epic struggles with modern-day life.
He co-runs the director duo Hulst & Tarenskeen with Jan Hulst, specializing in dark comedies. Their latest show, ShowMeister, is about a snobby theatre director who is forced by his marketing department to create a play with a superstar soccer coach (Jim Bakkum).
Before that, they made Baby Crazy, a play about a girl who, during a short break in her relationship, gets pregnant after a rebound with Justin Timberlake. Big problems.
In this masterclass, you will work alongside Kasper to invent a new play from scratch. We’ll see how far we can get in creating a Broadway-ready show—including a story, ideas for scenography, a few dialogues, the beginnings of a score, and whatever else we can come up with. Hopefully, it will be a chaotic and exciting 90 minutes where everyone contributes to building the best story possible.

Workshop Voice acting door Tony Neef (let op Nederlandstalig)
Tony Neef werd bekend in 1996 door zijn vertolking van de rol van Chris in de musical Miss Saigon. Er volgde vele rollen in grote musicals. Een hoogtepunt was zijn rol als Wim Sonneveld in Sonneveld, de musical.
Op het gebied van Kleinkunst voelt Tony zich op zijn gemak. Hij schitterde in het veel geprezen Telkens Weer het Dorp, een hommage aan de tekstdichter Friso Wiegersma. Er volgde meer kleinkunstprogramma’s. Na de pandemie stond Tony met Maaike Widdershoven en Ruud Bos in de productie Het gaat goed met Nederland, wat voort kwam uit de programma’s Weet u nog wel en Weet u nog wel, een koffer vol met liedjes.
Tony schrijft voor vele artiesten liedteksten die te horen zijn op cd’s van Ruth Jacott, Gerard Joling, Wolter Kroes, Antje Monteiro en Willeke Alberti. Voor Jeroen van de Boom schreef hij de liedtekst Jij bent zo.
In deze workshop zal Tony beginnen met zelf een lied te zingen ter introductie, waardoor hij met de studenten werkt aan het overbrengen en de interpretatie van een lied. Daarna gaat hij met de verschillende studenten aan het werk.
Voor deze workshop mag je zelf een NL nummer uitkiezen. Zorg er voor dat je deze op je telefoon hebt staan voor gebruik. Samen werken jullie aan de voice acting van het nummer.

Poezieboys; A workshop by the one-grip group
A few years ago we, the Poezieboys, came up with the theater company the one-grip group. A fictional amateur company that only performed plays consisting of one syllable words. Since then, they have been a regular part of our performances and poetry nights. For this we adapt classic and well-known films and plays, giving ourselves the task of being as infantile as possible. You learn to be very creative with language and it makes for very good language finds. The results are often funny but also touching scenes.
During this workshop we will work in groups on our own one-step scenes. We edit scenes from movies and plays and eventually bring them to the floor.
