We are delighted to announce Ali James as our pro coach for this workshop, focusing on group dynamics. This workshop lasts from 10am - 4pm, with a lunch break. It is taking place at Valley Park School in the drama department - parking is available on site. More detailed directions will be sent to attendees closer to the time.
Ali is from Southend on Sea and toured the UK, cruise ships and the West End as a musical theatre performer for 17 years before discovering improvisation. She then trained as a short former with The Laughter Academy and now plays with the home team Scared Scriptless.
Ali is a core cast member of the Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! - The Improvised Musical, as well as the company's movement director. She co-directs the London 50-Hour Improvathon and produces and directs the Southend 48-Hour Improvathon. She also plays with the Comedy Store Players.
Performance-wise, she has a keen eye for aesthetics and movement in improv and prides herself on physical storytelling. As a teacher, she passionately believes in differentiated learning outcomes in class and pushes all individuals within a group every session to achieve their personal goals.
