Create, rehearse, perform! Our Improvisation Performance Company is your opportunity to be part of a regularly performing improvisation team.
The company is performance led - focusing on stagecraft, scene work and responding to your audience. Led by an internationally performing improviser, the Company will explore a variety of improv styles and formats to challenge you and make you shine on stage.
To join this company you will need to be confident in scene work and have an understanding of basic improvisation techniques. You will need to have completed our Improvisation - Level 2 with Showcase or similar elsewhere. Entry is by audition.
The Improvisation Performance Company perform in three Theatre Productions a year. Joining the company involves:
Rehearsal as an ensemble and perform to a live audience
Basic level skills are encouraged
In order to join this company you will need to be confident in scene work and have an understanding of basic longform techniques (editing, tags, sweeps, ‘cut to’s).
Entry is by audition - this is only to confirm your level of knowledge and listening. You do not need to be an experienced performer, you do not need to be funny or quick, you do not need any previous theatre training. We will be looking for improvisers who listen to and support their scene partners more than anything, as these are the key foundations of a great improv team!
City Academy run other Theatre Companies, which do not require an audition:
If you have any questions about any of the theatre companies please email info@city-academy.com
Our shows and events occur throughout the year, and our show season is a fantastic opportunity for our students to perform to a live audience.
Our shows are held in some of the best performance venues in London, and are a great way to experience the performing arts.
We will be publishing new class dates soon - please register your interest and we will be in touch with more information.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
