Burlesque is, most simply put, the art of the tease. Together with local Amsterdam burlesque performer Alli Wallace, we will explore the basics and focus on tapping into the self-confidence and empowerment that burlesque can help unlock from within ourselves. It’s fun, it’s freeing, can be extra cheeky, and is often done with a healthy sense of sensuality.  All are welcome regardless of gender, age, ability, etc.!

InPlayers are proud to host their very successful one day workshops where aspiring actors and aspiring directors get to try out their craft in a safe and fun environment. Taking place at CREA Room 402. All participants must be registered in advance. Please send an email to contact@InPlayers if you would like to participate. All director slots are full but there are still some spaces available for participants who would like to act.

There are many considerations to acting in a play and staging a play: blocking, character development, using props and using your body and voice, to name a few. The One-Act Actors' and Directors' Workshop is the chance to practice these skills, both for those who want to act and those who want to direct. This workshop will involve working on a short play approximately 10 minutes long to present at the end of the workshop. Directors may choose their own 10 minutes play / short scene or will be offered a number of plays to choose from if preferred. Actors need only turn up and will be allocated to a particular director where they will work on a short play of the directors’ choosing. Each Saturday will be run as stand-alone workshop and participants are welcome to attend on one day or attend both days. Participants are also welcome to try both acting and directing over the course of the two workshops.

The workshop is open to all In Players members regardless of skill level. Persons new to Inplayers are given the opportunity to join one workshop free of charge. Places are limited and will be allocated on a "first come, first served" basis. To register yourself as an actor or director for one or both Saturdays please email the InPlayers at contact@inplayers.org.
