Theatresports - additional info
If watching theatresports (or as Keith Johnstone put it: improvisational theatre meets wrestling) is not enough for you, there is an excellent opportunity to try it out yourself too. Teater Liksom, one of the impro-groups mentioned in the previous post, has a weekly workshop, wednesdays at 6PM, before they play their regular show. Here, you can either watch or try out an impro-game or two yourself.
But wait, you say, aren't these people playing their shows in Norwegian? Yes, most of the time they do, but they'll play an occasional English show too. As for the workshop, they are also very forthcoming to non-Norwegian speakers and if you get together with a couple of your friends, they'll set up a special English section at the workshop for you. Email them at post@teaterliksom.com for more info.
