Stephen was brilliant

Come and join in at this open playday with QI, London’s first* queer improv group. It’ll be a fun afternoon of scene work and storytelling. Something that is really fun in improv is play that makes no assumptions about anybody’s identity or beliefs. Come along and play with a fun group of people who see you as yourself.

We sometimes initiate expecting a specific response, because that’s what the ‘normal’ response looks like. But what if your point of view (or your characters) is different? Why not be the one person in one hundred who will react differently? Ditto for gender presentation, different relationships, different physicalities and so on. Our goal is to build a group with fellow ‘different’ and open-minded people, where everything is discovered in the moment. ‘Queer’ in this context means anybody on the fringes of the mainstream, usually GLBTQ, but it’s completely self-identified; if you want to come along you’re more than welcome. All improv backgrounds and experience levels are encouraged to come out for the open workshops- let’s see what we get!

*as far as we’re aware!

There’s no feeling of ‘us’ and ‘them’

There will be open workshops every two months. Everybody is welcome to come and play. Always free. Email stephen@thenurserytheatre.com if you’d like to come along, or have any questions.
