For all walks of life, improv comedy will offer a development in confidence, communication and spontaneity. In-line with the background of Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell and Brits such as Eddie Izzard, Paul Merton and Phil Jupitus, the course advocates the use of improvisation for everyone.

Opportunities in Fundamentals of Improv Comedy
Dates: Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th November, 11am - 5pm.
11-12 February 2017, 11am - 5pm.
3-4 June 2017, 11am - 5pm.

The workshops shall explore spontaneity and its application to create comedy live. There is a weekend course available for all. In the course, we shall explore thoughts on the use of fun, enhancing the performance of the players through using playfulness in their improvisation. Its rather obvious that fun is engaging to see and is also fun for the performers. Playfulness gets us out of the way of ego, judgement and expectations, which are three elements that kill our improv. We shall search the basics of improvisation: listening, agreement and adding, committing and supporting each other. Improv is an open art form, where we search for freedom and honesty for comedy!

Opportunities for Efficiency in Scenework
Dates: 4th - 5th March, 11am - 5pm.
