Our beginner classes introduce you to the core skills of improv in a low-stress and fun environment. Our beginner’s classes are suitable for people all of ages, experience levels and walks of life.
What is improv?
Put simply, improv (or impro) is any performance where there is no script or detailed development of the work ahead of time. However, improv is also more than this. It is a philosophy of communication, creativity, and connection. It is these skills and ideas which allow performers to work with each other, in the moment, to create amazing and wonderful scenes.
What are the benefits of improv?
Everyone is different but improv is valuable both from a performance perspective and in everyday life. Improv can teach you:
- Confidence and public speaking skills
- Teamwork and connection
- Trusting your creativity & storytelling
How can improv help me if I am an actor or comedian?
Improv can absolutely help you as a performer. Improv was original developed as a tool for actors (and entertainers) to use in their work. Improv can help you:
- Be in the moment and connecting with scene partners
- Adjust flexibly and easily to direction
- Build confidence and range by introducing you to new partners, situations and characters.
Our approach to teaching
Learning improvisation can be intimidating, especially if you're just starting out. That's why we place a high emphasis on creating a generous and open environment for our students. We understand that everyone comes to our classes with different levels of experience and confidence, and we respect that. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported, no matter where you are in your journey.
What can I expect?
We normally begin with a check-in where we run see how everyone is going and communicate any expectations for the class.
We will then warm everyone up with some group activities which build connection and energy, before moving onto exercises which teach specific skills. Classes are normally very interactive and you have lots of opportunities to get up and give the activity a go. Our teachers are also able to adjust activities if you have any specific needs or requirements (just ask us if you have any questions)
