Improv Workshops

Free Improv Taster Workshop

Try improv for free! Puddle Jumping is a monthly free improv workshop at the Nursery, open to all.

Puddle Jumping is a great introduction to improvisation if you are new, or an opportunity to work on your core skills if you are a seasoned player.

Guided by an experienced member of the Nursery team, you will work on the core skills of improvisation through warm-ups, exercises and finally in guided scenes in front of the rest of the class.

Puddle Jumping is a friendly, accessible environment in which to have fun, create stories and characters and maybe even learn a little. Coffee, tea and biscuits provided.

Drop in workshops

A very relaxed and non-judgemental atmosphere which allowed everyone to learn from each other. Lots of fun!

Join us for an afternoon or evening of improvisation fun! We will be working on the skills at the heart of improvisation, such as listening, making offers and committing to your choices.

Each week you will…

  • Become more confident and relaxed, taking more risks and feeling more creative and liberated.
  • Learn the attitudes and ideas that make improvisation work.
  • Find these things translating into your everyday life.
  • Become more confident with people, more creative in your work and better able to respond to stress.
  • Develop a little further into improvisation, meeting new people and working with different teachers.

Every class is stand alone, so you can come along to one, or be there every week!

The drop-in is a wide ability class, so everyone is welcome!

It is ideal for people trying improvisation for the first time, or more experienced players who want to work on core skills. The atmosphere is accessible, fun and non-judgemental and you will find yourself doing things you never thought you could.

A great place to spend a fun Saturday afternoon with a great bunch of people and learn improv from some of the best teachers in the country.

Only £15 every Wednesday, 7-9:30pm and Saturday, 1-3:30pm.

Pre-book and guarantee yourself a place at drop-in as classes are limited to just 16 per drop-in. You’ll receive a loyalty card when you pre-book and your 7th drop-in will be FREE!

*Please note that the Nursery cannot refund tickets after purchase.

Women’s Workshops

Women’s workshops are an open and supportive creative space for women and non-binary people of all ages and experience levels.

These workshops 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!

QI – Queer Improv

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.

Open workshops every two months! Everybody is welcome to come and play! Always free!
