This beginners course is designed to introduce you to the basics of improvised theatre in a fun and friendly environment.
What does our course involve?
Over the course of the 6 weeks, participants will be gradually introduced to performing Theatresports games and scenes, and will learn to hit the stage with confidence and playfulness.
The classes are suitable for anyone interested in performing impro, as well as those interested in improving their public speaking and creativity or expanding their theatrical toolbox.
You will learn techniques to:
Trust your creative impulse
Be present and in the moment
Accept and build on ideas
Embrace failure
All participants will be invited to demonstrate their skills at a graduation show at the end of the workshop.

Your teacher - Becky Gethen
Becky has both an acting and Improvisation background which has seen her perform internationally as part of the Auckland Improv Festival and the Manila Improv Festival in 2023. Last year Becky also performed locally in the Theatresports Grand Championships as part of the winning team and performed in an Improvised dating show as part of the Fringe World Festival in Perth.
Becky’s career has seen her perform and facilitate workshops both locally and internationally to children, teenagers and adults in a variety of settings ranging from summer camps to prisons. Career highlights include working for Disney Cruise Line in the US and Bahamas, touring theatre in education to schools across Italy, as well as touring across the UK to hospitals and to remote Indigenous communities in Australia to deliver laughter and play to children and families through Improv in her role as Captain Starlight.
Becky loves the feeling of play, flow and spontaneity that comes with Improvisation to allow creativity, authenticity and trusting yourself and your instincts in the moment.
