Nursery improv courses use acting and comedy skills to help you feel more confident, calm and mindful in social situations, as well as helping you build your creativity in a supportive and low risk environment. We believe everyone can enjoy and do improv. Our classes are suitable for anyone, artist or accountant, programmer or homemaker. Come brighten up your life with our improv classes. Our Beginners course is the place to start, introducing you to the building blocks and basic tools of improvising.
The Nursery’s applied improvisation classes take the skills we have learnt over ten years of theatrical production and applies them to contexts outside of the rehearsal room. Our standard classes use experiential learning to improve your company’s team dynamics, soft skills, ideation skills and creativity, but we can also design bespoke sessions, or even provide entertainment for your conference, meeting or party.
In addition to our open drop-ins and courses, the Nursery offers a variety of specialised and elective classes, including visiting international teachers and performers teaching specialised forms and skills, Women’s Workshops and a weekly LGBTG+ group. These workshops cater for a variety of skill levels and experiences and focus on specific areas.
From the UK’s best improv to stars of the small and the large screen, open audience jams to improvised plays, the Nursery has over ten years of experience presenting improv shows in London. Having been awarded runners up for Time Out culture spot in the city, the Nursery now brings you a bold and varied programme of improvised online shows.
