Improvisation Classes: 'Acting without a Script'

Improvisation Course Description

Improvisation is the practice of acting, reacting and creating spontaneously.
Improvisational theatre (also known as improv or impro) is a form of theatre in which the actors use techniques to create, dialogue, setting, and plot spontaneously.

Improvisation is taught to actors as part of their training: the techniques of listening, clarity, confidence and performing instinctively and spontaneously are considered important skills for actors to develop.

Many people undertake these classes to gain interaction skills for use in social or business situations.

This course offers a practical introduction to improvising in a fun and supportive atmosphere.
