But how do you go from playing with each other for your own delight to entertaining an audience with fully-fledged improvised comedy and drama? \nThis seven-week course aims to equip you with the tools you need to take your improvisation to the stage by creating spontaneous and compelling scenes. You’ll explore how to make bold choices that drive a scene forward or give it a strong start\, how to build a shared world for your scene using basic mime and space-work\, and the essential ingredients that make a scene come together (or fall apart without them).  \nWho is this course for? \n\nStudents who have completed Discovering Improv & Intro to Performing Improv and want to take the next step\nPerformers who have some improv experience and want to develop their improvised scene work skills \nAnyone who has learned improv elsewhere and wants to start learning with the BIT school\n\nClass Details\nThis 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. \n——— \nTicket sales have been moved to our new events site!\nClick here to buy tickets!\n——— URL:https://improvtheatre.co.uk/upcoming-show/performing-improv-level-3-making-a-scene-2/ LOCATION:The Bristol Improv Theatre\, Bristol Improv Theatre\, 50 St Paul's Rd\, Clifton\, Bristol BS8 1LP\, Bristol\, BS8 1LP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Level 3 Courses,Theatre School ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://improvtheatre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/060-June-24-2023-BIT-Theatre-School-full-res-NZ8_9465-Enhanced-NR-PULLEN-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Bristol Improv Theatre":MAILTO:hello@improvtheatre.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260406T193000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260406T210000 DTSTAMP:20260416T003747 CREATED:20240829T103530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260401T122224Z UID:10001031-1775503800-1775509200@improvtheatre.co.uk SUMMARY:Student Showcase: Telling Stories (Level 3) DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 6th April | 19:30 – 21:00\nDoors open 18:30\nCome and support the students of BIT’s latest Performing Improv course as they share some of the skills they’ve been building over the 7 week course. \nOur wonderful students will be improvising stories and scenes before your eyes\, based on your suggestions. \nFREE ENTRY – fellow students\, family and friends welcome! \nThe bar will be open from 6:30 pm and the show starts at 7:30pm.
