Drama improvisation 18+
2025-03-31 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-04-07 19:00 - 21:00 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
‘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.

Block 1 – Monday January 6th and 20th, Feb 3rd, March 3rd and 17th

Improvers Art workshops
2025-04-01 12:30 - 14:30, 2025-04-15 12:30 - 14:30, 2025-04-22 12:30 - 14:30, 2025-04-29 12:30 - 14:30 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
‘A really friendly place to learn from experienced people’
Uniquely designed and delivered 6 x 6 week courses for beginners. Taught by local artist and designer Charlie who has over 25 years experience teaching art.
Tuesdays at 12.30 – 2.30pm
Term 1 – Still life (drawing) – Sept 17th – October 22nd
Term 2 – Objects in interiors (drawing, painting)- November 5th – December 10th
Term 3 – Portrait (painting)- January 7th – Feb 11th
Term 4 – Interiors (drawing)- Feb 26th – April 2nd
Term 5 – Landscape (painting) – April 23rd – June 4th
Term 6 – Still life revisited (collage, mixed media) – June 11th – July 16th
In both beginners and improvers, the sessions we will follow the classic method for learning to draw and paint. It is easy to learn to draw by copying the example of a tutor leading the group, but this tends to produce a ‘house style’ where everyone ends up drawing in the same way. Your drawing style is as unique to you as your handwriting (if school hasn’t obliterated it) – here you will learn to enhance your own drawing style, not replace it with ours.
Please note: all courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners.
Price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)
Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon
