Jump into the world of musical improv! This class is a fun, low-pressure introduction for absolute beginners.

We'll explore the basics of creating songs on the spot in a welcoming environment, giving you a taste of this art form without committing to a full-length course.

All experience levels are welcome; no prior improv or music experience is needed.

With John Gilbert on keys

This workshop is designed for improvisers who often find themselves "stuck in a loop" and unsure how to move their scenes forward.

We’ll focus on building strong scene foundations and uncovering new possibilities through active listening and organic scene discovery.

Acting for Improvisers - Stanislavski & Scene Dynamics

“On the stage do not run for the sake of running, or suffer for the sake of suffering. Don’t act “in general”, for the sake of action; always act with a purpose.”
― Konstantin Stanislavski, An Actor Prepares

In this class, we'll play with objectives, super-objectives, and tactics. We'll learn healthy conflict dynamics, to recognize when a beat ends, and how to move forward with purpose. And we'll discover the benefits of both stumbling in with nothing and starting with a clear sense of direction.

YOUR HOST
Oliver Georgiou

What happens when an ensemble truly listens as one?

In this improv workshop, we’ll tap into chorus-style techniques to turn group awareness into spontaneous theatre magic.

Through playful games and heartfelt connection, you’ll discover how the ensemble voice can support, uplift, and energize; making every moment a shared spotlight.

YOUR HOST
Janne Richard

An introduction to figuring out how to include tech in your show and give that extra theatrical gloss to both short form and narrative improvised shows.

We'll go through the design process, and how you can incorporate technical design in the conception of your show, tools you might need and how to rehearse (and perform!) with techs.

YOUR HOST
Lindsey McGowen

Immerse yourself in an original format created by veteran improviser, Marc Rowland. Explore methods of weaving through scenes, using physicality to inspire the characters, choices and stories that follow. Get ready for an energetic, focused and relentless format!

YOUR HOST
Mark Rowland

In this workshop, we’ll look at how you, as a single performer can better support your scene partners. We’ll identify what makes a good team player in improv, and revisit some foundational improv skills that help us to support everyone on stage.

We’ll also practice specific support moves that you can deploy as needed in scenes, or from the sidelines/backline.

YOUR HOST
Claire Biddiscombe

Journey back in time to the late 16th century, a time rich with heroes, villains, lovers, and magical beings.

In this workshop we'll explore Shakespeare’s world through a variety of exercises that introduce us to his language, characters, and landscapes. We will explore tools such as asides and soliloquies using them as a means to make discoveries and further our scene work.

Come join me for a unique opportunity to expand your imagination.

YOUR HOST
Monika Schneider

Join us for a unique bilingual French/English improv experience led by Impro Sierra. This interactive workshop will blend both languages, with explanations and feedback delivered in French and English throughout the session.

Each scene will begin with a suggestion in either French or English, and the entire scene continues in that initial language. We'll dive deep into character creation techniques, helping you expand and diversify your character repertoire.
