🛏️ 🚲 Coming alone, a nerdy workshop, bikes for less, and... The last bed

Not to sound too dramatic, but...

Hey there,

Less than a month (!) and the Flock Festival will be there.

And while I am elbow deep in festival tasks (emailing partners, making a photographer planning, recovering from a subsidy rejection, postering the town, etc.)

there is so much good stuff I have for you.

A discount code! A new workshop! Some reassurance that yes, you can definitely come alone!

And —not to sound too dramatic— the last bed.

And in the P.S. a non-festival intensive I sneaked in there, because… Well, I can. 🦸


🛏️ The last bed

Our beautiful accommodation has only 1 bed left. So if you are a woman, and you want to come for a week, a midweek, or a weekend, this is your chance!

FOR WOMEN ONLY — Festival Pass + Accommodation Duo-Room

Accommodation in Duo Room for the entire festival (3 rooms in the apartment with a total of 5-6 persons)

This room will be shared with another woman. You can choose from:

  • Monday-Monday: all shows + merch + 7 nights for € 690;

  • Monday-Friday: all shows + 4 nights for € 390;

  • Friday-Monday: all shows + 4 nights for € 390

FOR EVERYONE — Festival Pass

You can also still get the festival pass, giving you access to 7 nights of shows for just € 160,-

With a festival pass, you get:

  • Access to all 18 shows

  • Flock merch item to pick from (a Flock bottle, or a notebook & a bag combination)

  • Discount on the closing dinner on Sunday

  • Extra perks, only for pass holders

Get your pass here. It’s easy. It’s convenient. We treat you extra nice. And you support the festival too!


🚲 Discount on bike rental

Getting around by bike is the easiest (and nicest) way to move between the festival area and your accommodation: especially if you’re staying at Amsterdam Farm Lodge, which is a 45-minute walk from the venue.

We’ve partnered again with Frederic, a lovely one-man rental company in Amsterdam. He can deliver your bike directly to the Farm Lodge, so no pickup or return hassle. Just mention it in the comments in the booking form.

You can also pick up at his store in the centre.

Use discount code FLOCK15 for 15% off at frederic.nl.

Bike-related questions? Message Frederic on WhatsApp: +31 6 24971226.


🤓 Festival Nerds | 1-day workshop | Flock Festival

This workshop is the perfect way to close the Flock Festival. A way to get the highlights of the workshops you missed: in discussion and in play time.

Festival Nerds is not a typical performing improv workshop, but more like an improv-infused ginger shot. It is an inspirational facilitated session that allows us to harvest and build collective wisdom.

You will learn through thinking and through doing.

The session will be led by an inspiring teacher herself: Kim Thanh. Bring the notes you took, the questions you have, and your sharing spirit to this collective learning session.

Sunday June 29 — 10:00 to 16:00 (1h lunch break)
More information & sign up is here.

🪑 Coming solo? We’ve got you.

If you're thinking of coming to the Flock Festival on your own: you're not the only one. And you’re more than welcome. We’ve made sure there are plenty of ways to connect, join in, lend a hand, or take a quiet moment for yourself.

Right next to the theatre, you’ll find the Bird House: a cozy lounge to meet other improvisers, play a game, or grab a coffee. We have space for sitting, reading, knitting, drawing (with inspiration from our festival illustrator Babette), and meeting a new friend.

And after the shows? We love a good hang. Stick around for our post-show afterparties with music, conversation, outside games, and laughter until late.

✨ Or as Tanja, one of last year’s solo visitors, put it:
"It is kind of easy to dive into the festival community: when you share a passion, there is always a lot to talk about." Read her entire blog here.

So yes, even if you don’t know anyone yet… You will. ❤️


Talk soon,
Laura

P.S.

It’s not directly festival-related, but I think the Superclass could be something for you?

🦸 Next season, Gael will teach 3×3 days to a selected group of (international) improvisers. That is 45 hours of training in unscripted theatre in 2025-2026.

Check all the info here.
