Covert Block Workshop Series: Polish Your Gibberish

Part of the Covert Theatre Block Workshop Series:
The workshop: Frequently, the power of gibberish is underestimated. Gibberish is about boldness, attitude and ownership. Gibberish is more than just mumbling and making funny sounds, it’s about the creation of a new language between scene partners. And, as with any language, it’s about learning its structure, syntax, vocabulary and phonetics. Over this workshop, you will get the tools to make people believe you can speak any language in the world.

The teacher: Matias Avaca is an Argentinian improviser residing in New Zealand who has performed and coached in more than 15 countries through South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. He is the co-founder and artistic director of "Mabel Impro", the first Spanish speaking improv group in Australasia.

His style is characterized by working with different languages, and the absence of them, recurring to Improv as a universal language. He is the founder and director of the Auckland Improv Marathon and co-founder and director of the Auckland Improv Festival.
