"[The] improv workshop made for an inspiring and refreshing change from the school routine. It was brilliant for building up students' confidence and willingness to take risks, not to mention being great fun." (Dr. Thomas, Head of English, 2014, Bath)
"Playing on freedom and destruction was very beneficial." (Anonymous, 2015, France [Teen Impro Festival])
"Improv has helped me throughout school by helping me use my imagination. Especially in English, it has helped me to start writing in more creative ways and now becoming more complex." (Luke, 2011, Cardiff)
"It was really good, can we do it again?" (Daniel, 2014, Bath)
"Nathan was really funny." (Charlotte, 2014, Bath)
"It was a fun and inspirational activity." (Zac, 2014, Bath)
"I wouldn't hesitate to do it again." (Bryan, 2014, Bath)
"How fantastic to give our students this opportunity to try something completely new and to watch even the shy students throw themselves into the activities with great gusto and enthusiasm. As an improv enthusiast myself, I can well imagine the effect more improv workshops would have on our students in terms of building up creative and personal confidence and learning to collaborate with others." (Ms. Martin, School Librarian, 2014, Bath)
We advocate
improvisation for everyone. Whether the interest is in comedy, acting
or something highly unrelated, these will bring people together to
offer useful skills in all areas of life. The group will explore
spontaneity and how you can apply these skills to create comedy on
the spot. Our discoveries will search how we use fun to enhance
performance. It could be said to be obvious that this would be
engaging to see and definitely energizing for the performers.
Playfulness gets people to play well together: collaboration is a
ever-growing need in society. Therefore, we cover basic elements of
improvisation such as listening, agreement and adding, commitment and
support and various others. Improv comedy is an open art form, we
seek freedom and honesty in our comedy!
