Unfortunately, this workshop has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We have gotten in touch with all ticket holders, and we apologise for any disappointment caused.

Stuck for clever things to say on stage? More importantly, do you think fart jokes are funny? We’ll explore performance that is unashamedly silly; celebrating moments where everyone is laughing, even if no-one knows why.

Drawing on traditions of clowning, we’ll emphasise the power of simple gestures, responsiveness to your scene partner and developing scenes intuitively. This course will focus on making sure that everyone is having fun and being generous on stage, while creative ideas flow. 

We’ll cover:

Getting stupid: Becoming fearlessly silly to free up creativity. 

Nonverbal: Learn to communicate & perform intuitively with your face and body and learn not to rely on words.  

Finding your funny: What makes you tickle? Learn how to lean into your unique type of funny. 

Working Together: Focusing on being generous and collaborative while performing.

Please note, this course is recommended for improvisers with some performing experience and is not suitable for beginners. We’d recommend that you have taken at least one of our Performing Improv Level 1 courses, or equivalent, before signing up to this course.
