With her own style of improvisation, Naima has coached many people, including numerous actors, to creatively deal with their fears of performing and communication.

The truth of the matter is, there will always be some degree of nervousness when you have to perform in front of others. And that's okay! As long as you're not overly consumed by these feelings and are able to create breathing room for your performance.

In this practical workshop, you will learn through the process of improvisation what works to help you calm down your audition nerves. It is ideal for people with all levels of acting experience, including complete beginners.

Please come prepared with a short monologue of your choice, about 5 to 6 lines, it may be the beginning part of a longer monologue. To be able to give everyone a chance to work on their monologue, we will have to limit the number of places available so please be sure to book in early!

More than a decade ago, Naima cast a few InPlayers actors in her short film SHORT. You can watch it here: improvnaima.nl.
