AN INTRODUCTION TO SUPPORTIVE IMPROVISATION

This is a course for absolute beginners, performers looking to explore new skills or those who have tried improv in the past and found it's "not for them". This is another way of looking at Improvisation - as a supportive, collaborative process where our primary aim is to bring out the spontaneity in each other. This is a fantastic way of learning to improvise from scratch, or changing or our of thinking about improvising. It doesn't have to be scary!!

Sunday 23rd June 2024:

AN EMOTIONAL APPROACH TO IMPROVISATION aka Don’t Think it, Feel It!

This course explores how we can create scenes and rich stories simply through our emotions without having to come up with “the great idea”. We teach techniques which will allow you to be free to perform and avoid getting in stuck your head. This course has been described as “nurturing and supportive but also inspiring and challenging” and “fun and stimulating.” It is suitable for all levels.

We shall have more masterclasses throughout the year - stay posted!
