Impro Terapia @ The Park

4 Week Improvisational Theater Summer Workshop!


ImproTerapia is back in NYC for a summer workshop. Erik Rodriguez, founder of Impro Terapia, spent 3 months touring Spain and Rome showing his Improvisational Theater techniques to hundreds of actors and non actors. Erik has dedicated his life to studying the art of Improvisational Theater making him one of the top 5 best Improv teachers in the world. Mixing his Logotherapy and Kriya Yoga studies, Erik has created a way anyone could grow spiritually and professionally through Improv exercises and Theater techniques.


Summer program


4 weeks / twice a week / 2 1/2 hrs daily / 20 hrs. total

Tuesdays and Fridays: 9 am

$150.00


Class Description

Physical Training and Improv Exercises
Spontaneity Training
Improvisational Theater


Physical Training: Physical interaction is a primordial aspect of this method. The day will begin with a set of exercises to warm up the body. One of the goals of this session is learning and understanding how to use the body and its possible limitation, and working towards overcoming those limits. Will also learn how to work collectively as a team in a peaceful yet hi-energy environment.


Spontaneity Training:
Crucial to the Art of Improvisational Theater and fundamental to all actors . This session of the workshop is dedicated to strengthening personal spontaneity which can help the student lower their level of censorship, so that they can be free to react to their partners and the collective from a place of truth.


Improvisational Theater: There are no "stars" here but the improvisation itself. How to create stories, characters, situations, places and many amazing things out of your imagination. A group of people creating amazing stories together and liberating their own self with no fear of making mistakes or being ridiculed. A true self esteem boost!

Improterapia finally in New York City. Improv Beyond Comedy


Improterapia finally in New York City.
Improv Beyond Comedy

FREE Workshop/Seminar to introduce you to IMPROTERAPIA

Tuesday November 2nd
7-9 pm
Ripley Grier - 939 8th Ave # 307 - New York, NY
ROOM 4 A


People think that a synonym for Improv is Comedy, weeeell, not for us!

We think Improv is more thant that. We use Improv for Self Growth!!!

Now you can learn how to know yourself better, overcome stage freight, learn to take risks and stop being afraid of living while learning the art of improvisational Theater. We use Self Realization Techniques as Logotherapy, Kriya Yoga and Improv Theater Exercises to help people identify and work over those things that won't let you move forward in many aspects of your everyday life.

You will also learn the basic skills to engage a great improv. Stop trying too hard to make jokes, Stop believing you're not funny.

Everyone can be a very important part of an improvisation.
Improv is an art that needs to be studied in order to live forever!!!!

Barcelona, Spain!!!!!



Desde que llegué a Barcelona he tenido problemas con la espalda, hice dos shows a pulso de bastón pero ya en el tercero anduve con mejor movilidad. Ha sido un reto pero me la paso genial con los chicos de Planeta Impro en el Teatreneu.

Ahora, el 16 y 23 de abril tengo Impro Fighters como invitado especial de Planeta Impro en el Teatreneu y esas dos semanas también estaré dictando taller en Montgat, a 20 minutos de Barcelona.

España me trata a cuerpo de rey y me cuidan mucho mi esposa y los amigos que tengo y los que hago a través de esta gira que ha tenido unos cuantos contras pero que han florecido en pros...


Shanti!

E.
Since I've gotten to Barcelona I've been having back problems, so, had to use a cane for a while and couldn't even move. Now Ive been rehabilitating and doing some shows with Planeta Impro April 16 and 23 will be my next shows at Impro Fighters with Planeta Impro @ TEatreneu, Gracia, Barcelona, Spain! also I'll be giving a workshop in Montgat which is 20 minutes away from Barcelona. Im very excited about it. We've had ups and downs in this tour but all downs always turn out to become the best thing that could've happened... Shanti! E.

Bienvenido 2010

Saludos y Muchas felicidades amigos de ImproTerapia.

Que el nuevo año 2010 se convierta en uno emocionante lleno de vida, amor y buenas enseñanzas.

Para nosotros será muy rico ya que el calendario se nos llena de actividades y trabajos, viajes y culturas y gente muy interesante que se cruza en nuestro camino. Como muchos saben, estoy en El Living Theater haciendo la obra Red Noir de Anne Waldman dirigida por la legendaria Judith Malina. Ha sido genial, enriquecedor, maravilloso, una experiencia única con un grupo buenísimo y la tutela de tan increible ser, como lo puede ser Judith Malina. Desde conocer a Martin Sheen, Olympia Dukakis, Ray Manzarek (tecladista de The Doors), Michael McClure, Josh Hartnett, hasta recibir visita de Wallace Shawn a las funciones de Red Noir y lo que queda!!!

Ahora, las alas se expanden y volamos a España de gira. Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela, Granada y Valencia. Helsinki, FInlandia, Colombia, Puerto Rico... Un año de talleres y trabajos intensivos que nos llenan de mucha alegría. Nuevas gentes, viejos amigos, intercambios culturales fascinantes, mucha exploración... mucha IMPRO!!!!!!

El Gran Amante! The Perfect Lover!!!

"En momentos que nos sentimos perdidos encontrarse es refrescante... somos un oasis de sueños atrapados en Maya. Deberíamos considerar buscarnos más a menudo, encontraríamos a un "Yo" alucinante, increíble... Encontraríamos a nuestro verdadero Fan número 1... Seríamos nuestro mejor amigo... Nuestro Gran Amante!"

E. Rodríguez (Improterapia)


Dar cursos o talleres es increíble. Aprendo mucho con mis chicos en New York. Ahora hay receso y hasta enero no vuelvo a dar clases. En febrero ando de gira por España y en mayo Finlandia! Wao! Me emociona mucho saber que me encontraré con viejos amigos y con gente nueva.
La gente me fascina. Cada uno de ellos vive en un mundo especial y cuando me abren la puerta me muestran cosas increíbles. Algunos el primer día y otros se ponen dificilones.
dejarlos fluir hasta encontrar ese policía, maestro de la censura... ese ladrón de espontaneidad... esa es la verdadera misión...


(ENGLISH)


"In moments we feel lost, finding ourselves becomes refreshing... We are an oasis of dreams trapped in Maya. We should consider looking for ourselves more often, we'll be able to find a fascinating, outstanding, marvelous "I"... we could find our number 1 fan... our best friend... the perfect lover!"

E. Rodríguez (Improterapia)


I love teaching. It feels so good, it's incredible! I learn so much with my students in New York. we are taking the winter off so I won't be back 'til Jan. On February I'll be on tour on Spain and then Finland on May! Wao! Knowing that I will see old friends and meeting new people gets me excited and motivated to keep working harder and harder...
I love people! Each person lives in a fascinating world and when they open their doors they show incredible things, I loooove it! Some are more difficult and shy, but that's important also.
They must flow at their own rhythm so that the Censorship Officer in their head can be found... eliminate the Spontaneity thief is my mission...
