Question: What is impro/improv? Impro/improv is performing a game or scene or play without a script. Actors use impro skills to get into character. A means to an end. We use impro as an end product - the performance, but it is also a good way to build confidence in yourself and your ideas. And impro is a skill that anyone can learn. Question: Who is this course aimed at? - Complete beginners - Actors & Performers new to impro - Improvisers who wish to refresh their existing skills. Question: Who are our teachers? There will be TWO tutors - both regular performers with SPROUT. And both experienced teachers who are used to teaching everyone from students at Drama school, to computer designers at a corporate event. Also the group is limited to 14 so there is always someone to help if needed. Tell me about the course ... The days are 12.30pm until 6pm. There will be a breaks for tea/coffee. You'll learn the rules that make impro work and do exercises to develop skills core to impro - spontaniety, creativity, listening, and teamwork (impro is not a solo activity). Our "Intro to Impro" course is 100% practical - the only way to learn it is to do it. So you'll be on your feet "doing" nearly all the time. Mainly in pairs, but also in small groups. We learn that "failure" does not exist - only more or less successful ways of doing things. Finally - impro is fun! |

| Here are some kind words from past students ... |
"I had a wonderful time. I felt it was a smooth introduction to improvisation." Z. Adner "I enjoyed it very much. I liked the way you made us all get to know each other a bit and interact at the start. Very good. 9/10." Simon Parsons |
"Really enjoyed the day, thank you!" Caroline Bridgwater "As my confidence grew I felt less 'in my head' and more and more spontaneous. So, yes, I learnt a lot and my improv skills were improved." H.P. |
