‘The most fun I have all week – I haven’t laughed so much in ages’

Alternate Monday’s at the Cause Arts Centre 7-9pm

Improvisation Workshops delivered by Laura.

If you’re interested but not sure what it is – just come and watch a session and have a cup of tea!

Come and join a lovely bunch of local budding thespians, who like to mess about, play games, take part in drama exercises and generally have fun while learning how to think on the spot, make up scenes and not be restricted by the script.

You’ll explore scenes, develop strong characters then improvise the content with some idea of the outcomes – Mike Leigh style. Some of our short form games are like ‘Who’s line is it anyway’ if you’re old enough to remember that!

If you have always wanted to try some drama, but are not sure that you want to commit, just pop in and do the bits that you want to, or just come and watch a session. We’d love you to join us – and can guarantee that you’ll meet some brilliant and supportive people along the way.

  • Basic introduction, get to know each other, ground rules for improv and how to let your brain avoid filtering (too much)
  • Introduction to creating characters to use in scenes – emphasis on the physical. Levels of performance style – 1-10
  • Further character development – using the voice to compliment the physical. Tone, pitch, accent. Introducing costume for characters.
  • How to respond to offers and add value to a scene. Can we develop a plot using the people that we have found?
  • What do we need to do to become more believable? What clues can other actors give each other when in an improvised scene?
  • Feedback – audience to watch. Teens invited to join us.
