COURSES
Welcome to the joyful world of making things up!
Unlock your ideas, boost your confidence and get more play into your life with this 8-week introduction to theatrical and comedy improvisation (improv) as experienced teacher Carla guides you through the fundamentals. We'll be playing games, creating stories together, and learning to make each other laugh, all in a safe, supportive environment.
You don’t need any drama, acting, comedy or improv experience. Neither do you need to consider yourself funny either - in fact, it's much better if you bring your authentic self. The best improv comes from what we might consider very ordinary, read this blog here to find out more.
The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, and we are a disability and neurodivergency-friendly course. Please let us know if you have any questions or accessibility needs. If you want to know more about the course in general, please also get
in contact.
