2nd June – 14th July | Mondays | 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 an experienced facilitator. 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.
