We are so excited to welcome a very special guest teacher to Brighton for a one-off workshop!
Heather first met Billy Soco at Birmingham Improv Festival and couldn’t stop talking about his energy. When we heard he was coming to Brighton, we knew we had to bring him to our community — and now it’s happening!
Whether you’re new to improv or a seasoned player, this is a brilliant chance to learn from a teacher who makes scenes feel effortless, grounded, and full of life. Don’t miss it.
Here’s what he’s bringing to Brighton…
Familiarity Breeds Content
"Hey… don’t we know each other?” Yes, of course we do! When our characters come out with a shared history, their connection feels truer, their perspectives more engaging, and our scenes can become more fun to play! In this workshop, we’ll ditch the awkward getting-to-know-you phase, use our real life as inspiration and dive straight into dynamic relationships that bring our scenes to life.
Through a mix of exercises and scene work, we’ll practice:
- Bringing honesty and depth to our character perspectives and relationships
- Establishing environment with details specific to our lives to inspire meaning and purpose in our scene
- Playing the obvious and gifting fun facts that honour spontaneity
This workshop is perfect for improvisers at all levels looking to build scenes without feeling like they’re inventing so much.
Whether you’re playing best friends, rivals, exes, or acquaintances with shared baggage, you’ll walk away with the tools to help build your scenes more naturally.
