The target group have some drama experience, either having had participated in live weekly drama workshops, or taken part in the Creative Show in previous years. Unfortunately the 10th anniversary show was cancelled this year.<\/p>\n<p>This group has a lower level of ability than the previous target groups and Tracy wants to use drama and improvisation as a way of capturing their voice and experience over the past few months. She wants to create scenes where their reactions to everyday new scenarios such as mask wearing, social distancing and reduced social activity are documented in some way, perhaps in a recorded Zoom performance that she\u00a0feels will capture a group that has been direly affected by what has been happening in the past 7 months.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>She plans to start workshops the week of the 5th of October and run several a week, as the participants access the centre in staggered groups to allow for social distancing. As this is a virtual workshop held with a group, the focus will be on static scenes (queues, dinner tables, sofa) to allow the participants to sit still and also be heard. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":11567,"template":"","class_list":["post-11566","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Improvised Comedy Troupe Workshops with Tracy Aspel - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tracy Aspel, All things improv.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/improvised-comedy-troupe-workshops-with-tracy-aspel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Improvised Comedy Troupe Workshops with Tracy Aspel - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Tracy Aspel, All things improv., founder of the improveyes project for schools in Ireland,\u00a0will be running several weekly virtual\u00a0workshops via Zoom with PODS of service users who are based in Daughters of Charity, Dominic Street, Limerick.
