By examining how the poem balances reality with myth, performers will learn to craft compelling narratives that stretch beyond conventional storytelling, embody heightened characters, and transport audiences into uncharted, imaginative realms................SUNDAY'Scenes About Nothing' - Bodei BrowerDon't make it personal, don't build a relationship and whatever happens: no conflict! Scenes about nothing are wonderful palette cleansers in a busy show. In this workshop, Bodei will give you the 3 factors that make scenes about nothing some of the most entertaining scenes around.'The Biggest Loser' - Navaris DarsonLosers get the laugh! In this workshop, we’ll explore the improv principle of “choosing to lose” – including how to drive the comedy with character flaws; winning arguments by losing; and embracing negative labels as gifts and using them as gateways to specific character information.'I Am Not Afraid To Exist' - Maro LesiotiThis workshop explores the irreverent act of acceptance. Going beyond the mechanics of “yes, and,” this workshop invites participants to embrace themselves, without using acceptance as an excuse to overstep boundaries. Through exercises that cultivate trust and deep listening, they will practice saying “yes” to their identities. Freedom will be unlocked on stage and in life.'The Hook and The Anchor' - Erica MaityThe Hook and the Anchor: a simple method for creating characters that are unique and memorable. You'll learn to link characters to your own life experience (the anchor) to give them a clear point of view, lock them in with physicality and repetition (the hook), then send them off on autopilot, freeing up your own brain to connect with your scene partners and discover the moment. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/belfast/belfast-improv-festival-2026-workshops/100001989995094898 - **Event Categories**: workshops, festivals, performances, comedy, entertainment, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: The Seamus Heaney Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 40, max: 80, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Belfast - **state**: NI - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Seamus Heaney Centre - **lat**: 54.5864948 - **long**: -5.9358973 - **full address**: The Seamus Heaney Centre, 38-40 University Road, Belfast, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Belfast Improv Festival 2026 - Workshops - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/ef1ac2c70a1a9112adc2e38ae50c032e63ce3855d4e35b915e7f08a7205b8a1b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1783360835 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Belfast Improv Festival 2026 - Workshops being held? - **A:** Belfast Improv Festival 2026 - Workshops takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am to Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm at The Seamus Heaney Centre, 38-40 University Road, Belfast, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Belfast Improv Festival 2026 - Workshops? - **A:** Belfast Improv Festival 2026 - Workshops is organized by Belfast Improv. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
