Improvisation Workshop

Improv or improvisation is the art of creating scenes and stories. You do not need any previous experience to participate and there is no pressure to be funny. However, sometimes scenes take a hilarious turn!!!

They should have warmed up by then

Our aim is to give participants in our workshops a safe space to improvise and unleash their creative side.

We usually begin with exercises to fire up our imaginations and warm up our voices. We then play games designed to build scenes and flex our story-telling muscles.

Sessions focus on applying the principles of improvisation, which are to:
- listen
- embrace the idea
​- give ideas a chance
