It was exactly four weeks ago today that the first of a whole series of performances catapulted away from the schedule should have taken place. So what is TIM Theater doing in that first month without a stage?

Along with the rest of the culture and events sector and training organizations, we look to the future with growing question marks.

We stand as a group and individually both silent<\/a> as not quiet<\/a>.
Totally in keeping with the ambiguity so preached in improvisation principles....

We do a team check-in and end up with more on the screen than we ever manage to take a group photo in real life.
We give space to everything, and that's a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leen and I talk on a walk in the woods with the unaccustomed one-and-a-half about how TIM XL<\/a> will be a powerful formula when teams start wanting and being able to reflect on what was and what is to come after the coronastorm. That was prophetic because a few days later, such an initial question came from a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We compare the very different professional statuses on our team and tip each other off about - the still unclear - support measures. We send out a general communication to our clients regarding cancellations and possible postponements and immediately get some heartwarming responses. We are already casting some stones in connection with an internal solidarity system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are experimenting as two living room improvisers living together with the translation of a theatrical form into video work. This for a potential partner for online support materials in healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We listen to stories of those colleagues who hold other jobs. They are caregivers, funeral directors*, therapists. The president of the House of Inspinazie is also union president in a major hospital....
Those stories grab at the throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The improv teachers among us experiment with young (XS) and old (Living Impro) with online exercises <\/a>. The reunion is very nice. Some things are working well and otherwise especially lollygagging for extended live catch-up lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
