Apie Kaspars Silavs

Many years ago Kaspars (he/him) fell in love with improv. Since then he studied it and worked with many fantastic improvisers. The biggest cornerstone was his participation in improvisation festivals. In order to introduce Latvian improvisers to international improvisation, he and his like-minded people founded "Improv Comedy Riga" and invited teachers from abroad. During this still ongoing project, over 30 improvisation teachers from different countries visited Latvia. Each of these experiences influenced him and the way he is as an improviser. Kaspars helps to create a supportive community of modern improvisation not only through ICR but he's one of the founders and teachers in Improv Theater Academy in Riga. He loves teaching and believes that he's learning from every single student as well. Kaspars is looking forward to the opportunity to improvise with you!

Dirbtuvės: Inspired by objects

Objects are all around us, they are an integral part of our lives. Most of the time, we are so used to using them that we don't even pay attention to the details and nuances. In this master class, we will delve into the world of objects and run through the various ways in which objects can inspire us in improvisation:

• Having dialogue between real objects
• Object work
• Playing an object in a scene
• Using objects as props in a scene
• Play a human with object characteristics
• And other fun stuff!
