10th September – 22nd October | Tuesdays | 19:00 – 21:30
Be anyone (or anything) you want to be – in improv, the possibilities are limitless! But where to start? When you’re making spontaneous creative choices and responding on-the-fly, it can be difficult to play a character who feels different from yourself. There’s often so much going on that you hardly have room to think about being someone else.
This seven-week course introduces the tools, techniques, and tricks used to create characters on-the-spot. You’ll explore how characters can emerge and grow through physicality, status, and the relationships between characters – building your confidence in stepping into another person’s shoes when you perform.
Who is this course for?
- Students who have completed Discovering Improv & Intro to Performing Improv and want to take the next step
- Performers who have some improv experience and want to develop their improvised characterisation skills
- Anyone who has learned improv elsewhere and wants to start learning with the BIT school
CLASS DETAILS
This course consists of 7 sessions that last for 2.5 hours each, and will be taught by two of our experienced facilitators. Places are capped at 12. Like all our Performing Improv courses, the 7th week includes a showcase performance to a supportive audience of friends, family, and fellow students.
