Thinking on your feet

Engaing your audience

Public speaking

Taking up space

Communication and collaboration

Active listening

It's not a matter of IF our workshops and training can help, but HOW they will

Seeking women-based workshops? Ask about our 'Being a Difficult Woman' workshop, a workshop that uses playful tools from improvisation to explore a woman's relationship with the word 'difficult.'

Looking for teambuilding and skill refining exercises? Our instructors are trained in communication & collaboration and can tailor the workshop/training to your exact needs.

Seeking focused interview prep for your university society? Learning how to think quickly on your feet is invaluable, and what we're here for!

In improv, like everyday life,

we arrive on stage with nothing prepared

Although it may seem daunting, we trust our team to support and build on any idea we suggest. These skills lead us to create shows that can entertain an audience for hours. They also happen to be the foundation of teams who are able to adapt and embrace change, communicate well and innovate. It’s fun, accessible, and prepares you for the challenges and spontaneity of life

STEPHEN BROWN 

Stephen Brown is a business psychologist, improviser and executive coach with over a decade’s experience in psychology and business

'Bristol Improv Theatre ran an activity as part of an away day I was co-facilitating for a sustainability consultancy firm. The client wanted a fun and interactive session that was also directly relevant to their work - something to get everyone mixing and safely out of their comfort zones. Ahead of time some participants had expressed nervousness about improvisation, however, the Bristol Improv Theatre team put everyone at ease straight-away and everyone got involved. I was impressed with the level of engagement and by how the facilitators modelled the communication and interpersonal skills they were inviting us all to practise – especially when it came to experimenting with taking risks that participants might not otherwise take in front of each other. I would recommend Bristol Improv Theatre activities or training for anyone looking for something that develops relationship-building skills in an engaging and fun way'.
