Event Details

Women’s workshops aim to create an open and supportive creative space for female-identifying improvisers of all ages and experience levels who may, for whatever reason, feel they would benefit from an all-female class environment in which to learn and play! It’s a safe place to come and be bold and fearless and meet other dynamic women from across the city.

The classes run once a month, and they are stand alone, so you can book one or come along every time. Each workshop is taught by a different teacher and focuses on a specific area of improvisation, and we have some exciting people lined up over the coming months!

This Month is ‘Improv Check In: Refresh and Reboot’, with Susan Harrison

Do you want to get away from your Go To’s? Do you feel hesitant in certain scenes? Are you someone who is fed up of driving the scene but doesn’t know how to step back? Or conversely someone who finds it hard or scary to initiate an offer? Maybe you just want a space to play and be bold away from the usual team you play with or away from the rules and regulations of your usual improv school.

This workshop will be a chance for you to try out different ways of addressing your improv worries, in a fun, non judgemental, empowering environment. We’ll use Scenework, games and fun challenges to blow away the cobwebs and enjoy the moment.
