About this course
The course introduces improvised comedy through warm-ups, skills-based exercises and team activities. Participants work with the same group to explore spontaneity, listening, commitment, collaboration and the “Yes, And” principle. Sessions include improvisation games, scenes and stories created collectively rather than stand-up routines or individually prepared jokes. The course also covers character, support, teamwork and scene-building within a playful workshop format.
What you'll learn
- Apply spontaneity, listening and commitment in improvisation exercises
- Use the “Yes, And” principle to develop collaborative scenes
- Create improvised stories, scenes and sketches as part of a group
- Explore character and scene-building through improvisation games
- Work with other performers to support group storytelling
Is this course right for you?
The course is designed for complete beginners and does not require previous drama, acting, comedy or improvisation experience. Participation centres on working with other learners to create scenes, stories and games as a team.
- No previous performance or improvisation experience is required
- Activities are created and performed collaboratively rather than as solo stand-up
