WOW-EFFECT Hosts a Shared Rehearsal to Celebrate the World Theatre Day

Two amateur theatre groups from Nijmegen – WOW-EFFECT Theater and Playback Theater Storyline – are getting together to celebrate the World Theatre Day that takes place on March 27^th. After last year’s success with Toneelgroep Twister and The Fool’s Men, this shared rehearsal is the second edition. WOW-EFFECT aims to continue building connections within the amateur theatre community of Nijmegen and beyond, in the years to come.

The rehearsal kicks off with collective acting and team-building exercises, lead by the directors from each group. This helps people to connect and feel comfortable with each other. Actors also get to experience input from a different director. The groups then share a piece from their current project with the others. This is their chance to get constructive feedback and help each other out. Overall, the shared rehearsal is a much-valued learning opportunity for any group present. The newly built connections are then consolidated with a drink at the bar next door.
