15 April, 17.00 — White Hall, Novgorod Philharmonic Hall
TED Lecture by Esther de Koning, Maastricht, Netherlands
“Super short comedy acting course”
Esther de Koning offers us a super short comedy acting course. Her performances can be described as a mix between stand-up comedy and theater. On stage she is full of energy, combining absurd humor with her limitless imagination. Her style does shake people’s expectations and that’s what happened on stage during the TEDx conference. Esther’s performance is humorous, interactive and a little confrontational.
At the Kingfestival, she will show you how – in improvisation — to build a scene, how to make things ‘worse’ to make it funny. It will be interactive and in the end there’s time for questions.
Actress, writer and theater producer Esther de Koning is known for her honest and tragicomic productions for both young and adult audiences. Esther has won several prestigious national awards.
From the Hague, Esther has studied and then later worked as a drama teacher in improvisation at the Theater Academy in Maastricht. She now lives in Valkenburg. In a castle. True story.
