In this 6 week course we will explore creating bold, memorable and multi-dimensional characters and further develop these characters through scenework. In improv, people tend to have some “go-to” character types that they use frequently, through interesting exercises and helpful feedback this course will help you expand your character range, get out of your comfort zone and allow your characters to adapt and mould through scenes. Additionally, we will dive into how to make dynamic scenes, instilling the basic fundamentals needed to ground a scene, how to progress your scene, tactics to help us when we feel stuck and rhythm and pacing.

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.
