Beyond Laughter: The Weird and the Eerie
in Howden with Stuart Moses
This workshop investigates the weird, the overwhelmingly present or inexplicable, and the eerie, the absent or subtly unsettling. This improv is dramatic, but not horrific. Through group exercises, ensemble movement and imaginative world-building, we'll explore how to evoke tension, unease, and curiosity while staying connected to our scene partners. You’ll leave with the confidence to experiment with atmosphere, mood, and emotional resonance that will take your practice beyond evoking laughter.
Want, Do, Relate: Keeping your Scenes Dynamic, Engaging & Relational
in Meet 4 with Emma Willmer
In this workshop, we will focus on 3 specific ways to root your characters and scenes so that they remain dynamic, engaging and relational. When securely anchored in these 3 ways, your scenes are more likely to fly, and take your audience with you! We will do active, focussed micro-work & exercises on the three concepts, slowly putting them all together and seeing how they emerge in short form games. There will be brief collaborative notes from the group & leader, lots of affirmation and encouragement, and an unreasonable amount of fun and frolics. All welcome.
Stop Trying So Hard
in Meet 5 with Barnish & Carmichael
Very often in improv we get told "Don't try to be funny" and in this workshop we will look at that keyword TRY. We'll look at ways we get in our own way and remove those blocks in order for our improv to be easy, fun and flowing!
Jump into Genre
in Meet 11 with George Butcher
Every scene you perform has a genre, whether you intend it to or not! So why not take a little time to learn some genres properly, lean in, go beyond the cliche's and actually make some incredible stylistic choices in your scenes. We will be looking at 3 wildly different genres in this workshop with the intention of creating some of the most memorable scenes you will perform all year.
Step up with Warm up
in Meet 12 with Ben Wong
We all do a bit of "warm-up" games during each improv session, but do we actually utilize those "warm-up muscles" in the main event? This workshop aim to help the participants in making better choices and making more inspiring yet grounded scenes by looking up-close at how some of the warm up exercise helped us specifically. Suitable for all levels.
Jam: Music
in Cedar with Tom Keegan
The jam for all things musical improv, with scenes, games and maybe the odd longform structure.
