It’s funny, the workshop Terje teaches abroad are never taught in Oslo! So here’s an attempt to change that 😃

This workshop was taught at the Impro Fest Offline in Bielefeld, October 15th 2021!

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Every idea is an unlimited source of potential, if we want it to be. It has the power to connect us to the moment, our partner and audience, not to mention effortlessly bring any story forward.

Too often we miss out on this potential. We’re too busy looking for a different, better, more interesting idea, or perhaps we just don’t think our idea is good enough. Stop! It’s hammer time!

This workshop will stop us from moving forward and hammer away at what we got. And by hammer I mean play! Because it’s improv and because we’ll be doing group and pair exercises together, the workshop is designed to provide practical experience with useful tools in a playful way. Then we’ll wrap up with a few scenes to demonstrate the tools and process of Stop! Hammer time!

This workshop will:

• help bring out the potential and trust in your ideas and the ideas of your improv partners!
• allow you to have fun with your ideas for as long as you want, instead of discarding them!
• change your view on creativity and team work forever!

TEACHER DESCRIPTION:
Terje Brevik is an improviser from Norway, the land of trolls, fjords and the midnight sun. He’s been teaching improv since 2014.

He could have put the following in his bio:

• founder of Tøyen Impro, an Oslo-based improv school for everyone!
• co-founder, former director of and doer of almost everything at Impro Neuf. He led a bunch of nerdy friends in a basement into the biggest and most inclusive improv community in Norway.
• founder of the Oslo Impro Festival.
  having taught and performed in Belgium, the Netherlands, US, Germany, Switzerland, Latvia, Russia and Denmark.
• have the dumbest tattoo ever. This is not a bit.

But he won’t. He’s too decent, handsome and modest.

He could also mention that his ideas, style, or taste comes from a broad and diverse range of sources such as the Annoyance, Pack Theater, iO Theater, Keith Johnstone, Groundlings and more.

But he won’t. He’s too honorable, dapper and stupendous at googling synonyms.

He will however treat you like a rock star. Because that’s what you are!
