Story & Impro - Nutze die Techniken von Storytelling mit Marianna Ölmez

In the organizer's words:

A workshop for professionals from the film/television/theater sector

You know how it is: the path from an initial idea to a viable story is often long and challenging. Concepts are discarded, characters change, structures have to be rethought - whether for a novel, series, film or screenplay. But what if there was a creative approach that enlivened this process and opened up new perspectives?

Improvisation is spontaneous, lively and arises in the moment. It does not follow a fixed template - and yet it is one of the most direct forms of storytelling. Because improvisation also creates characters, develops conflicts and tells stories. This is precisely its strength for any form of narrative work.

In this workshop, you will learn how the principles of improvisation can deepen and expand your storytelling - from the initial impulse to the finished story. You will discover new facets of your characters, find organic turning points for your plot and learn how to deal productively with uncertainty. Screenwriting also benefits from this approach: scenes come to life, dialog becomes more authentic and characters gain inner logic.

Dare to take a step into the open and bring a breath of fresh air into your creative process. Experience how improvisation strengthens your storytelling - for stories that surprise you and captivate your audience.

MARIANNA ÖLMEZ has been working as an improviser and trainer in Germany and abroad for twenty years. As an author for film and television, she uses improvisation specifically as a tool in storytelling, especially in the writers' room and in script development. She passes on this knowledge in her workshops in order to make improvisational methods accessible as a valuable resource in creative storytelling - from screenplays to free stories.
