Improv Drop-In

Let's explore using Improv to laugh and create (sometimes very short!) stories together.

This week we'll have a special look at slow-burn scenes: not much may happen, but the audience gets invested.

Most importantly, we will discover fun approaches to making each other laugh! Even if you've never told a joke or stepped onto a stage. We welcome all levels from beginners to seasoned improvisers, and help you discover fun and playful games. We can (almost) guarantee that everyone will have a lot of fun!

What is Improv? It's a set of skills that anyone can learn for creating in a supportive, collaborative fashion - no one person has to do all the work: nor should they!

You'll be amazed at how easily you'll build worlds together and make new friends.

Things to remember:

• You can do this - most of your daily life is unscripted!
• The whole drop-in is one team - no heckling - only support
• You don't have to ever do this in public
• You can ALWAYS opt out of any scene or activity or topic - we've got your back.

Info: Welcome, introductions, expectations: NOTE - This agenda is only an example

Info: Some silly activities to get you in a playful state and remind you that you are creative. Could include trying to clap at the same time as someone or word-association. (It doesn't matter how good you are at those things)

Info: These could be games that might happen in a show like "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Or scenes with a particular focus like making scenario clear. We are learning how to make stuff up in future and getting a feeling for what works.

Info: Toilet, chat, reflect.

Info: A little warm up then more exercises

Info: A chance to reflect, thank each other, note any moments you especially liked.
