SUMMARY:F*%cking with Conventions in Narrative Improv (with Justin Brett)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 22nd March | 14:00 – 17:00\nQuestion: What narrative/improv conventions can I use to best tell my story? Answer: All\, some\, or none of them.*   \nNobody entered a brawl thinking ‘I only have a bottle\, so I’d better just use that\, and hope  that there’s a repeat of punch 3 I can bring back\, and maybe a group game’.  \nWith our show\, ‘These Folk’\, there were often discussions about narrative conventions\, but recently this question has presented itself: ‘Why not have potential use of ALL of the  storytelling weapons we have at our disposal that we even know of\, whilst also being  skilful enough to honour them and not make convention salad?’ Super-fun\, right?!  \nIn this 3-hour workshop we will explore some of the many improv\, storytelling and just plain FUN tools we have at our disposal: character swapping\, cutaways\, flashbacks\,  theatricality\, songs\, short-form games\, good connected acting and more. We will share  conventions we love; experiment with those that we think we loathe and therefore shy  away from (yep!) and free ourselves from habits.   \nHarold may/may not end up with an arrow/bottle/endless box in his eye. *(Not a definitive answer). \nThese Folk Workshops x Little Improv Festival Ticket Offer\nTo celebrate the first day of our Little Improv Festival\, we’re giving you £10 off when you book for both ‘F*%cking with Conventions in Narrative Improv (with Justin Brett)’ and ‘Characters In Improv (with Susan Harrison)’. Use the code THESEFOLK-10 at the checkout with tickets for both workshops in your basket to redeem. (Please note\, this discount cannot be applied to tickets already purchased). \n\n\nAbout the Instructor\nJustin is an improviser and actor with a wealth of experience in both scripted and unscripted productions. He has been a longstanding member of Oliver Award Winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical for many years with whom he performs nationally\, internationally and on the West End\, as well as regularly appearing in the London 50 hour Improvathon and guesting in shows such as GTI.  \nAs an actor he has appeared in numerous productions\, ranging from new work such as Then Now and Next\, to West End hits such as Million Dollar Quartet. He brings his experience and understanding of theatricality and acting into his improv teaching.  \nJustin has coached various improv teams\, has taught improv at Bath Spa University\, has been a guest improv teacher at the Welcome Festival in Rome and has taught for Showstopper in corporate settings all over the world. \nSee These Folk at the Bristol Improv Theatre\nWe’re delighted that Justin and Susan will be performing their show ‘These Folk’ on the evening of Friday 22nd March to kick off The Little Improv Festival.

SUMMARY:The Little Improv Festival 2024: These Folk
DESCRIPTION:Friday 22nd March | 20:00\nThese Folk is a funny and beautiful improvised folk musical\, performed by Susan Harrison & Justin Brett (both longstanding members of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical) and accompanied by incredible improvised guitar and percussion.  \nEverything is made up onthe spot; the characters\, folklore\, story\, lyrics\, harmonies and music. \n“These Folk is really funny right off the bat….a perfect blend of self- awareness\, with a commitment to the story and its characters- no matter how silly”. (indiependent.co.uk) \n“These Folk is that rare combo of beautiful and funny. I laughed\, I cried\, and I walked away completely inspired”. (Kevin John Gillese\, former AD Dad’s Garage\, USA) \nPlus\, bonus show from The Groundhogs!\nMaking waves on the Bristol comedy circuit\, these mischief-makers are back with their own brand of improvised deja-vu. First they’ll improvise a comedy sketch for you. Then they’ll repeat it. Then they’ll repeat it again. Maybe they’ll even do it AGAIN after that. But will the sketch be exactly the same each time…? (Spoiler: It will not)
