We also offer up to two fully-funded Bursary spots for students in each of our classes, along with partial Bursary options as well. Learn more here.

Please note:

– Class links are sent 2 hours before a class.

– The minimum participants to run a class is 4, and with the current situation we cannot always guarantee we will have enough to run a class.  If your drop-in is cancelled, you will be notified about an hour before the class.

– If you have any difficulty with your class link and cannot get in to a session, please contact us through The Nursery Facebook messenger, as this is instant and teachers will be checking before class (emails may not reach us in time).

Closed captioning is available in all of our classes and courses. If you need any information on how to access this in zoom, please contact classes@thenurserytheatre.com

  • Free tickets available to those who are unable to afford them
  • Option to Buy a place, Give a place – for yourself and a place for someone less able to afford it.

Open Drop-in

Level: Open

Open online drop-ins offer a combination of pair and group work, challenge and fun. In these classes, you will practise the skills of building, agreement, emotional expression and creativity. You will have an opportunity to connect with people around the world and share community and laughter through improvisation games and scenes.

These classes are energetic and playful, and each one is different, offering an opportunity to play and grow in challenging times.

Open – A class for anyone, regardless of their improv experience. Although more experienced players are of course welcome, the content does not require any prior improv knowledge.

Jan. 13, Teacher: Juwel Haque, Topic: Guessing Games

Time:

Thursdays 7.30pm – 9.30pm UK Timezone

FAQs

Who teaches these classes?

All classes are taught by experienced members of The Nursery teaching staff. Read more about them here.

How do I join an online class?

An hour before your class starts, you will receive an email to the address you gave when you bought your ticket. Just click the link ten minutes before class starts and Zoom will do the rest.

What if I lose my connection or freeze?

We should be able to solve most minor technological mishaps, but if the internet is not your friend that day, we can easily move you to another class. Just email classes@thenurserytheatre.com

How many people will be in the class?

Our standard classes have a limit of 12 participants, but our Electives range from 6 to 8 to 12 participants.

What if I haven’t used Zoom before?

Your teacher will take you through the programme at the start of your class, and will make sure that everybody can use the functions they need.

Please note:

  • The Nursery cannot refund tickets after purchase.
  • The minimum age for these classes is 18.
  • Classes start on time and if you are more than 15 minutes late without letting us know, you may not be able to join the class, as you will have missed warmups.
