Learn the skills which allow performers to work with each other in the moment to create amazing and wonderful scenes.

Put simply, improv (or impro) is any performance where there is no script.

Improv is a fun, challenging art-form which teaches skills that are useful both in everyday life and performance. Improv is invaluable for actors or creatives who want to be faster on their feet and explore their creative processes. Plus, it’s fun!

Participants will be gradually introduced to performing Theatresports games and scenes, and will learn to hit the stage with confidence and playfulness.
You will learn techniques to:

- Trust your creative impulse
- Be present and in the moment
- Accept and build on ideas
- Embrace failure
