“I am forgetting something. I just forgot what.”

Ticking off glühwein, your hobby, and 50 hours of improv.

Hey there,

“I am forgetting something. I just forgot what.” This is basically me in December: running around like a headless chicken, trying to figure out… Well, everything.

When it comes to Flock to-dos, let me try to make it easier for you.

  • ✅ Got your Polar Nights ticket? After the 4 shows this week, it is over for this magical show. (Come, we have glühwein and a fire!)

  • ✅ Signed up for a January course? You still have choice, but some are filling up fast! Not sure? Ask us anything!

  • ✅ Considered the production course? Some of you thought it wasn’t for you, but it is! So we clarified the website. The group so far is 🤩

  • ✅ Applied for the next production? This one you can strikethrough: there will be no auditions or regular main stage production coming. See the production course for what is happening instead.(It is pretty wild)

Below is some more info on each of them. Saves you a click to the website 😉


✔️ Only this week: Polar Nights

Polar Nights is a beautiful, funny, and moving play in the era of the first polar exploration. ❄️ Follow the lives of brave explorers sheltering in an igloo during the months of darkness in the polar night.

What makes it special?
✨ A new story every night, created live by the cast
✨ Immersive soundscapes and a stunning transparent igloo
✨ Glühwein, laughter, and a cozy fire to end the night

Grab a seat here and see why our audiences say:

💬 “Heartfelt moments and genuine laughter in every performance!”

✔️ What is the production course?

Are you an experienced, ambitious improviser ready for the next step? This new Flock production course helps you refine your craft and take your skills to the next level.

You’ll get advanced improv training with personal feedback from Gael and Laura and learn how to produce professional shows, from tech and marketing to design and planning.

Everything we’ll do is practical because all sessions are in preparation for the Improvathon, a 50-hour international event in April 2025. As the cherry on the cake, you are invited to perform (up to 24 hours), join the crew, or do both.

Sessions are on Wednesdays (Jan 15–Apr 9), 10:00–12:00, in Amsterdam. We’re selecting 8–12 motivated players to create a strong group.

Read all the details on this page. And then apply! The selected players will be announced by Dec 20th. (The group is already so good, you guys. So good.)


Want to chat about any of this? You know where to find us!
