Event Details
Level: Open
Improvisation is theatre without a script. Scenes games and stories created on the spot without a plan or a safety net. It can be funny, sad, strange, or anything you want it to be. Like yoga for your brain, practising improv helps you to remain present and creative, to work as a group, and stay calm under pressure. Perhaps surprisingly, it does not require wit or speed but is based on warmth, cooperation, and openness. Whether you are an executive or a student, a teacher, or a homemaker, it is a great skill to learn and hobby to enjoy.
Whether you are looking to be more confident and creative, or just to meet some people and have a laughter-filled evening, our experienced teachers will gently introduce you to skills and practice which are as applicable in work and life as they are on stage. You will play characters, tell stories and play games, all in a safe, nurturing environment where learning is fun and failure encouraged.
Syllabus Includes:
Letting go of expectations and playing instinctively
Creating scenes and ideas from nothing
Listening and responding
Building ideas slowly and carefully
