Each weekly session covers a different fundamental skill needed by every improviser, enabling us to delve into specific areas and reflect on our instinctive approaches. We will come together after a day’s work to be creative, spontaneous, let go of our inhibitions and have plenty of laughs together. By the end of the course you can expect to feel more confident in initiating scenes, character work, exploring emotional depth and playing with space. Additionally, you will sharpen your foundations in improv such as effective listening, teamwork, being present, and accepting and enjoying failures. These skills can have undeniable benefits on your social, professional and day-to-day life with many past students reporting they noticed they have increased confidence in their daily lives as well as a group of new friends. The course is open to everyone.
The course will finish with an optional class showcase on April 3rd at Rocas Bar. It will be a closed audience of just friends, family and colleagues who you can invite to come along and show their support. Each week we will work towards our showcase so that you will feel prepared and raring to go by week 6. If you aren’t comfortable performing, don’t worry - it's 100% optional.
Course dates: Feb 24, Mar 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 from 7-9pm. Showcase Thursday April 3rd

FAQs
1) What is improv? Improv is a type of live theatre which is often comedic in form where everything that is performed is unplanned, unscripted and created spontaneously.
2) Do I have to attend every week? If you can attend each week that would be ideal. Of course life gets in the way though so if you do have to miss a class this is understandable
3) Do I have to pay for the course in full all at once or can I pay in instalments? If you would prefer to pay in instalments please just contact me and we can work something out
4) Can I join this course if I’m not a native English speaker? Absolutely! Most of my students are not native speakers so as long as you are comfortable understanding and speaking English and have a good level you should be fine
5) Can I attend a Dig Deep event before the course? Yes! Check out out upcoming workshops and Jams where you can get a better sense of Improv and Dig Deep and meet some of the community
