Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th August | 10:00 – 17:00

This practical and interactive workshop will explore how to ensure you are equipped to create a space where people can have fun.

We will explore:

  • What you can do before you are in the room
  • Holding space and having fun while in the swing of it
  • Self-care and winding down from the highs of hosting
  • Our investment in diversity, equity and inclusion 

This workshop was created by someone who has been holding space for over 16 years in a variety of different settings for both children and adults.

Bring something to write notes with, if that is your jam and have fun exploring through play using the principles of improvisation. No previous experience necessary.

There are a limited number of places on this intensive available on a scholarship/’pay what you can’ basis. If you would like to take this course but are finding the cost a barrier to access, please get in touch at hello@improvtheatre.net to find out more.
