Improv is a dynamic and energising way to spark creativity, build confidence, and strengthen communication skills that can help with public speaking, acting, or simply navigating everyday interactions with more ease and presence. This course offers a practical and enjoyable exploration into the world of Improv in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Improv enriches with skills which extend far beyond the classroom, with many past students reporting improved confidence in social, professional, and day-to-day interactions. Each weekly session builds upon the one before and will cover a different topic or skill so that by the end of the course you will feel more confident as an improviser as well as honing valuable life skills such as communication, creative thinking, teamwork and accepting failure. Improv is a team activity, and this course is a great way to meet new people. Enjoy a drink and delicious food at our venues before or after class each week. Places are very limited so early booking is advised!
