Complete beginners are welcome – you don’t need any previous improv or performing experience. This is the place to start your improv journey!
The Level 1 course is designed to give you a grounding in key skills for improv. It’s also a great next step if you’ve done some one off classes and want to really dive in – or if you’ve done some improv before but taken a long break.
DETAILS
The course costs £200 for eight evenings 7-9:30 pm. We also offer diversity scholarships for those who are underrepresented in the improvisation community or who would be unable to afford the course.
You can pay for this course in one chunk in full. Or for a 50% deposit with the balance being paid in full at the start of the course.
The Nursery is a charity and does its best to keep course fees low to make improv accessible for as many people as possible. To this end, we offer two course prices, our standard rate of £240, and a higher rate of £500 which includes a significant donation to the Nursery. These donations help us to keep offering free and subsidised places through our scholarship scheme
