Hey ambitious improviser, let's commit 💍

Masterclass for 1 year - Summer workshops for 5 or 2 days

Hey there,

Where others go shorter, we go longer.

It is a bit against the trend of shorter courses and workshops, but Gael and I like organizing things we ourselves would l❤️ve to take.

And we love long commitments. You grow closer to your fellow players. You actually improve, instead of only play. You are amongst people who also are committers. It is just a far better experience.

So if you are ready to commit 💍 (for a year, or for 5 days, or for 2 days), we got you!


A year-long Masterclass

This masterclass of 9 weekends in 2026-2027 is for any ambitious intermediate to advanced improviser that would like to dive deeper into the work of unscripted theatre.

It’s perfect for you if:

  • You want to improve your scene work and diversify your way of playing

  • You are ambitious and in a learning mindset

  • You are open to feedbacks and notes, and willing to work on your blind spots

  • You enjoy working with a tight group of like-minded people together throughout a year

  • You are curious about Gael’s improv style and Flock Theatre’s approach

  • You’re excited by the idea that improv is never “finished” — there’s always more to discover

You feel like you’re ambitious but you’re not sure you’re ‘good enough’? Just hit reply or DM Gael!

What current Masterclass students are saying

“It’s exactly what I hoped and more :) I felt like I had not developed and learned new things for a while.”

“My point of view on improv becomes clearly more and more professional.”

“The chance to learn/develop, combined with Gael’s skills and the Flock atmosphere was a really appealing combination”

“It’s the possibility to work on certain skills, repeatedly over a longer time and with a stable group on a comparable experience-level.”

The masterclass consists of 9 weekends in 2026-2027, for a total of 90 hours of classes.

What I am most excited about…

The schedule. Yes, really.

This image of blocks, it is my favorite. Because I know what it represents.

  • Blocks that mean showcases with sweaty palms, supportive cheers, and discovering surprising sides.

  • Blocks that mean international friends arriving. Saying to each other how long it has been. And having them meet other to-be-friends.

  • Blocks that mean chilling with friends and drinks in the sunny courtyard. Or late-night dancing. Some of the best parts of the Flock Festival.

  • Blocks that mean playing a new kind of improv, learning things to take back home, feeling inspired about this amazing things called improv.

  • Blocks that are filled with food and talks and laughs and compliments and a second scoop of that delicious dish.

Don’t wait. Clear your schedule. Join us this June in Amsterdam!


Hope to see your signup come in!

Laura

P.S.

Can we ask you for a favor? Could you share one (or both) of our events with your local improvisers? That would help us a lot. Especially in times of social media having less reach!
