We have followed government guidance to make sure all of our classes are Covid-secure, while also working hard to make sure physically-distanced improv is still fun, friendly and playful.
We also offer full flexibility on bookings to give you peace of mind when planning ahead.
Please note that our safety policies will be reviewed when limits on social contact are relaxed, no earlier than 21st June.
What we are doing
Reduced Class Sizes
Class sizes have reduced from a maximum of 16 to a maximum of 9 with the instructor. This is to help maintain physical distancing of 2m in the theatre space.
Improved Ventilation
The doors to the theatre space are opened regularly to ventilate the room
Improved Cleaning
All rooms are thoroughly cleaned before the workshop starts and in-between classes
Hand washing facilities
Hand washing and gel is available on entrance, in toilet areas and in the theatre space
Booking flexibility
We are giving you full flexibility on all bookings, past, present and future.
Non-Contact Games
We’ve redesigned our games and exercises and trained our teachers to have non-contact and at-a-distance versions of all games.
Temperature Checks
Anyone entering the building will be asked to have their temperature taken with a wireless thermometer to reduce the risk of spreading infection.
An opportunity to connect
What we offer is an opportunity to connect with others within clear physically distanced boundaries. This will be different but we can assure you it will be joyous and fun!
What we expect from you
Book in advance
All workshops and courses must be booked online, in advance of the workshop, to help limit numbers.
