AURÉLIEN LOISEL (France)

Failure is a superpower! Inspired by cartoons and silent film, we celebrate the "Comic Body." We use Masks as a gateway tool to find precision and slowness, before transitioning to Cartoon physics and visual comedy. We learn to celebrate the "flop" and find the tenderness inside the monster. Use your body to bypass the brain: discover that the audience loves you most when you fail magnificently.

AURÉLIEN LOISEL (França)

O fracasso é um superpoder! Inspirados nos desenhos animados e no cinema mudo, celebramos o «Corpo Cómico». Utilizamos máscaras como ferramenta de acesso para encontrar precisão e lentidão, antes de fazermos a transição para a física dos desenhos animados e a comédia visual. Aprendemos a celebrar o «fracasso» e a encontrar a ternura dentro do monstro. Usa o teu corpo para contornar o cérebro: descobre que o público te ama mais quando falhas magnificamente.

LUANA PROENCA will be leading the workshop HOW TO CREATE YOUR IMPROV SHOW.

If we face improv as a theatrical language, we can question what we know that improv is and start to explore what it can be. This perspective amplifies the power of improvisation in our creation and the bridges of possibilities and process. For groups and solo work. Let’s stage our ideas, finding structures and elements to translate our improvisation. We will work with Space as Dramaturgy; Tools for Show Dynamics; Exploring Concepts and Ideas; Structures and Protocols and Aesthetics, Style and Theater Languages.

LUANA PROENÇA irá conduzir o workshop COMO CRIAR O TEU ESPETÁCULO DE IMPRO.

Se encararmos o improviso como uma linguagem teatral, podemos questionar o que sabemos sobre o que é o improviso e começar a explorar o que ele pode ser. Esta perspetiva amplia o poder da improvisação na nossa criação e nas pontes de possibilidades e processos. Para trabalhar em grupo e a solo. Vamos levar as nossas ideias ao palco, encontrando estruturas e elementos para traduzir a nossa improvisação. Trabalharemos com o Espaço como Dramaturgia; Ferramentas para Dinâmicas do Espetáculo; Exploração de Conceitos e Ideias; Estruturas e Protocolos; e Estética, Estilo e Linguagens Teatrais.

25/07 - 9h30 - 17h00 (6h workshop)

CHARLOTTE GITTINS bring us, from United Kingdom, the workshops KILL YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

Playing with vocal techniques, body tensions and characters’ inner stories, this is a chance for improvisers to escape their comfort zones and create characters radically different from themselves. Starting with monologues and moving into scenes, we explore ways of escaping our own self-imposed limits and building complex, funny, messed-up humans with lives all of their own.

CHARLOTTE GITTINS traz-nos, do Reino Unido, o workshop KILL YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

Brincando com técnicas vocais, tensões corporais e histórias interiores das personagens, esta é uma oportunidade para os improvisadores saírem das suas zonas de conforto e criarem personagens radicalmente diferentes de si próprios. Começando com monólogos e avançando para cenas, exploramos formas de escapar aos nossos próprios limites autoimpostos e de construir humanos complexos, divertidos e atrapalhados, com vidas totalmente próprias.

DAN CODREANU comes from ROMANIA with the workshop SILENT PRESENTE - The Art Of Non Verbal Improvisation.

Before words, there was the body. Non-verbal communication is the most direct and truthful form of expression. In non-verbal
improvisation, the performer cannot rely on dialogue or verbal explanation. Everything is built through presence, intention, rhythm, and physical clarity. This workshop invites participants to reconnect with the body as a primary storytelling tool. Through silence and movement, performers explore how emotions, relationships, and narratives can emerge without spoken language. Silence is not emptiness. It is a space of heightened attention — where the body listens, reacts, and creates meaning. Participants will explore: Physical presence and body awareness; Clarity of gesture and intention; Use of space and imaginary environments; Emotional expression without words; Rhythm, timing, and physical storytelling; Non-verbal interaction in solo, duo, and group improvisations. The workshop draws inspiration from pantomime, physical theatre, and improvisation, offering practical tools applicable to stage performance, improvisation formats, and visual theatre.

⏰24/07 - 14h00 - 17h00 (3h workshop)

LUANA PROENÇA brings us, from Brazil, the Workshop ZOOM IN ZOOM OUT

This workshop focuses on objects and details to create new images and new imaginaries. It's a cinematographic and photographic investigation of object theatre to expand the imagination of improvised performance. What worlds can emerge from an image in space, and what is our relationship with it? Improvisation generally starts with an empty stage and invisible objects worked with pantomime. In this workshop, we work from the relationship with a concrete image of an object to expand our improvisation into a technical hybridity with film and photography to rethink our scenic improvisation.

LUANA Proença traz-nos do Brasil, o Workshop ZOOM IN ZOOM OUT

Este workshop centra-se nos objetos e nos detalhes para criar novas imagens e novos imaginários. Trata-se de uma investigação cinematográfica e fotográfica do teatro de objetos, com o objetivo de expandir a imaginação da performance improvisada. Que mundos podem emergir de uma imagem no espaço e qual é a nossa relação com ela? A improvisação começa geralmente com um palco vazio e objetos invisíveis trabalhados através da pantomima. Neste workshop, partimos da relação com uma imagem concreta de um objeto para expandir a nossa improvisação numa hibridização técnica com o cinema e a fotografia, a fim de repensar a nossa improvisação cénica.

ELKE REID comes from USA with the Workshop DALI DALLIANCE - SURREALIST IMPROV

Step beyond logic and into the dreamworld of surrealist improv. In this workshop, you'll explore the strange, poetic, and absurd through stream-of-consciousness monologues, irrational characters, and dreamlike scenes. Using techniques inspired by surrealist art and theater, we’ll bypass the thinking brain and tap into raw creativity, surprise, and emotional truth.

ELKE REID vem dos EUA com o Workshop DALI DALLIANCE - IMPROVISAÇÃO SURREALISTA

Vá além da lógica e entre no mundo onírico da improvisação surrealista. Nesta oficina, exploraremos o estranho, o poético e o absurdo através de monólogos de fluxo de consciência, personagens irracionais e cenas oníricas. Usando técnicas inspiradas na arte e no teatro surrealistas, vamos contornar o pensamento racional e acessar a criatividade pura, a surpresa e a verdade emocional.

CHARLOTTE GITTIN makes her debut at Irreverente with the workshop COSTUME DRAMA.

Corsets, candlelight and emotional chaos. From Jane Austen to Bridgerton, we love stories full of longing looks, social rules and dramatic tension. In this workshop, we explore how to bring those heightened worlds to the improv stage while staying playful, truthful and alive. It can be easy to feel trapped by literary genres, so we’ll explore how to get out of our own heads, make exciting narrative decisions and create messy, funny, flesh-and-blood characters everyone cares about. Using period drama as inspiration rather than a limitation, we’ll create scenes that feel rich, cinematic and deeply human. The way characters move, breathe and interact with the spaces around them can tell us everything we need to know about power, chemistry and the complex worlds they inhabit. Through physicality, status and spatial relationships, we’ll build charged, emotional scenes full of love, conflict and intrigue.
Expect bold characters, big feelings and delicious drama — all improvised in the moment.

*The workshop will be presented on the Festival stage

DAN CODREANU comes from Romania with the Workshop IMPROV PUPPETS.

It is often said that ‘puppet theatre begins where the actor's possibilities end’. Puppetry opens up an infinite field of expression, especially through metaphor. In this world, anything can become a puppet: an object forgotten in a bag, something on a writer's desk, or a childhood toy that still holds memories and emotions. If we are attentive enough, objects already have a life of their own. A sculptor once said that when he looks at a piece of wood, he already sees the work of art inside it — his role is simply to bring it to light. The same applies to puppet theatre: the puppet already has a life of its own; our role is to help it speak. But what is the story being told? Ultimately, it is our own story, expressed through metaphor. Puppetry becomes a powerful tool for personal expression, imagination and non-verbal storytelling, allowing artists to bypass realism and access deeper, more symbolic layers of meaning. This workshop explores the intersection between improvisation and puppetry, encouraging participants to discover characters, emotions and narratives through animated objects and forms.

LUANA PROENCA is part of the origins of Irreverente and this year she is back! On the second day of the Festival, she brings us the IMPRO YIN-YANG Workshop.

The two sides of the same coin: opposition is something powerful. It can be a tool. It can be a method of creation. It can be a theme. It can be a format. Opposition makes us see and fill the balance. In this workshop, we will delve deeper into opposition, not only to build different characters and relationships, but also different types of scenes, spaces, styles, transitions, speeds: dark and light, strong and weak, beautiful and ugly, yin and yang, yes and no: discovering that we are the ‘and’, that we are something together, that we are equal where we are different.

***

LUANA PROENCA faz parte da origem do Irreverente e este ano está regresso! No segundo dia do Festival traz-nos o Workshop IMPRO YIN-YANG.

Os dois lados da mesma moeda: a oposição é algo poderoso. Pode ser uma ferramenta. Pode ser um método de criação. Pode ser um tema. Pode ser um formato. A oposição faz-nos ver e preencher o equilíbrio. Neste workshop, vamos aprofundar a oposição, não só para construir personagens e relações diferentes, mas também diferentes tipos de cenas, espaços, estilos, transições, velocidades: escuro e claro, forte e fraco, belo e feio, yin e yang, sim e não: descobrindo que somos o «e», que somos algo juntos, que somos iguais onde somos diferentes.
