Improvisational Comedy & Drama: Level 1 (Sept-Oct 24)

Questors Academy

When we woke up this morning, nobody handed us a script...

LEVEL 1 - Introduction to Comedy Improv

'When we woke up this morning, nobody handed us a script for the day... we just improvised our way through it, so you know what, you can already improvise’.


You will be gently introduced and supported in both the comedic SHORTFORM exercises, as seen in ‘Whose line is it anyway’, and the more naturalistic LONGFORM formats of improvisation, as performed by Mike Myers, Steve Carell and Tina Fey.


We will practice lots of games and exercises in pairs and in groups, and find a lot of humour both intended, and not intended! We will learn techniques to help us think on the spot without going completely blank, remember names, create grounded scenes in every imaginable location, create believable relationships and have meaningful dialogues… and let’s not forget having some pretty absurd ones too! We will also practice ‘getting things wrong’, and discovering that when things don’t go to plan, the world doesn’t stop turning… getting things wrong is a fundamental element of comedy.
 

Conquering this fear of getting things wrong has a huge liberating effect, and this is not limited to the classroom… it spills over into everyday life, and the everyday stresses and surprises that life throws at us will not seem quite as daunting.

 

Who is the Level 1 course for?
Everyone… beginners, actors, non-actor… and you don’t have to be clever, fast or funny.

If you want to:

  • Gain confidence to speak up socially and professionally and conquer that anxiety.
  • Or enhance your acting by ‘living in the moment’ and liberating your creativity.
  • Or you’ve done some Improv and are feeling rusty.
  • Or just meet a new bunch of fun people on a Saturday afternoon and share some laughs.

Then this course is for YOU!

There will also be the option to perform in a showcase to friends and family at the end of the final class.
