TEACHER IMPROV THEATER
The position is open per September 2025, due to the departure of the current teacher.
THE ASSOCIATION
T.S.V. Pro Deo is the student Theatersports association of the University of Twente. The association was founded more than 30 years ago and consists currently of 42 members, who nearly all study in Enschede. There are four groups divided to offer lessons at a beginner- as well as at an advanced level for both members playing in Dutch and members playing in English. All lessons take place on Thursday evenings from 19:15-20:45 the Dutch lessons take place, and 21:00-22:30 the English. The lessons are given on the campus of the University of Twente, in the Vrijhof.
During lessons, members learn about the techniques needed for improvisational theater as well as the games that are played within Theatersports. Throughout the year, there are several shows from the association where members play in teams against each other, and occasionally also against teams from other associations in the Netherlands.
Generally, Pro Deo is an association with a strong sense of community and inclusivity, which is why we as an association strive for everyone to feel included. To create a group feeling, several activities are organized throughout the year. After lessons the members, and often also the teachers, sit together to have a drink in the Theatercafe of the University of Twente.
