Writing, improvisation, and performing all come from the same mysterious place: our imagination. In this intensive weekend workshop, we’ll explore that creative space where instinct, play, and the subconscious meet, discovering practical tools to generate new ideas, trust your impulses, and deepen your connection to your own artistic voice.
Through guided creative writing, improvisation, imaginative exercises, and work with dramatic texts, you’ll explore how these disciplines inform and strengthen one another. We’ll discover how writing can lead you to surprising truths about yourself, how improvisation develops confidence and flexibility, and how both can become powerful tools for approaching plays and creating truthful, original performances.
Rather than focusing on results, this workshop creates a space for curiosity, experimentation, and saying “yes” to your own ideas. Together, we’ll develop a creative practice that quiets self-judgment, expands your emotional and imaginative range, and deepens your trust in your instincts—and in the creative possibilities that emerge when you follow them.
The workshop will be led by Berlin-based performer, theater maker, and writer Yael Esther Mor, whose work moves between comedy and drama, performance and text. A graduate of the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio in Tel Aviv and a 2019 Best Actress recipient, she has performed in leading theaters in Israel and presented her original work at venues including Berliner Festspiele, Ballhaus OST, and Münchner Kammerspiele.
This course is conducted in English.
