SUMMARY:Improv Double Bill: Spacecats & Real Positive Poles
DESCRIPTION:The Bristol Improv Theatre presents a double bill of improvised comedy especially sourced from the South West. \nSPACECATS\nSpacecats is a surreal episodic comedy show\, where you will see improvisers play anything from atoms to asteroids. Like brave astronomers\, like wise philosophers\, like kittens playing with a ball of yarn\, they delve into the great unanswered questions of the universe such as: \nHow do spoons really feel about each other? Why do seagulls hate tik tok? Can humans and coral reefs ever be friends? \nWe weave abstract stories and concepts into an overarching narrative\, based on your suggestions! Expect to see physical theatre\, contemporary dance\, off-the-cuff beat poetry and irreverent dream sequences in this kaleidoscope of improvised deep space exploration! \nREAL POSITIVE POLES\nReal Positive Poles are a group of award winning Bristol based improvisers with a passion for big ideas and science fiction. We take inspiration from your favourite shows to create brand new episodes based on audience suggestions. \nWinner of The Brighton Seagull’s Best Improvised Show Award and top 3 shortlisted for the Best Show in all categories by The Reviews Hub at the Brighton Fringe 2022. \n★★★★★- Wriggle Bristol | ★★★★★- The Reviews Hub \n“absolutely perfect improv” – Starburst Magazine \n“incredibly funny and intensely engaging’ – The Brighton Seagull \n“Quirky\, offbeat and hilarious” – Swindon Fringe Review

SUMMARY:Sticky Notes! Bristol Revunions Student Comedy Night
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 25th March | 20:00\nThe Bristol Revunions are back to host a night of student comedy! With special guests Bristol Improv and a host of local stand-ups. What more could you want? \nThe Bristol Revunions are the Bristol University sketch comedy society who have been around since the 1950’s. They’ve performed with the Cambridge Footlights\, Leeds Tealights\, Durham Revue and many more. Not so fresh off a 10 show stint at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they “nearly made a profit”\, you don’t want to miss them now! \nBristol Improv are the University of Bristol’s improvised comedy society. Helmed entirely by barely regulated students\, the society amuses audiences at the uni and around Bristol venues\, as well as making their own successful excursion to The Edinburgh Fringe last summer. Armed with an increasing repertoire of improv games and increasingly silly ideas for long-form shows\, you’ll have to see what these talented performers come up with on the night. \nWith some of the best student stand-up acts in Bristol at the moment\, catch them before they’re famous.

SUMMARY:Improvise Freely with Patti Stiles
DESCRIPTION:MONDAY 27TH MARCH – WEDNESDAY 29TH MARCH | 10:00 – 16:00\n\n\n\n\n\nRules can provide structure\, guidelines\, a compass to steer ourselves by. Rules also create a system where compliance to the rule overrides free thought and ‘getting it right’ outweighs exploration of the craft. \nRules aren’t useful when they try to limit how to improvise\, how to create\, how to think\, what you must or must not do on stage. When the freedom of play is obstructed by the limitations of rules we restrict creativity and confine the imagination. \nIn this workshop we challenge the rules as absolutes and create freedom in our improvisational work as we focus on the tools\, techniques and choices. \nABOUT PATTI STILES\n\n\n\n\n\nPatti is an actor\, improviser\, director\, teacher\, author and playwright who’s been working professionally in theatre since 1983. She served her theatre apprenticeship at the world renowned Loose Moose Theatre and was trained by Keith Johnstone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatti has an infectious enthusiasm for improvisation. Mix this with her insightful improvisation technique\, strong narrative skill and her spirit of play\, and it is no wonder she is responsible for inspiring many hundreds of people to improvise. Her understanding of Johnstone’s work and philosophy\, combined with her own discoveries and her wealth of experience on the world impro stage\, has made her a “must have” teacher for performers and companies wishing to create spontaneous theatre with fine skill\, strong narrative\, heart and elegant style. \nPlease note: this is a 3-day workshop\, running from Monday to Wednesday

SUMMARY:Gender & Genre with Patti Stiles
DESCRIPTION:THURSDAY 30TH MARCH | 10:00 – 16:00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany of the genres we perform reflect out dated social rules heavily categorised into male and female behaviour. Today’s world is different yet our storytelling is still shackled to these historical gendered roles. \nWhat if we don’t play the expected? Do the stories remain genre ‘true’ regardless of actor? By questioning\, challenging and exploring our gender bias\, and understanding the purpose of characters in stories\, we break open new levels of impro play and possibilities. The effects are really quite interesting. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT PATTI STILES\n\n\n\n\n\nPatti is an actor\, improviser\, director\, teacher\, author and playwright who’s been working professionally in theatre since 1983. She served her theatre apprenticeship at the world renowned Loose Moose Theatre and was trained by Keith Johnstone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatti has an infectious enthusiasm for improvisation. Mix this with her insightful improvisation technique\, strong narrative skill and her spirit of play\, and it is no wonder she is responsible for inspiring many hundreds of people to improvise. Her understanding of Johnstone’s work and philosophy\, combined with her own discoveries and her wealth of experience on the world impro stage\, has made her a “must have” teacher for performers and companies wishing to create spontaneous theatre with fine skill\, strong narrative\, heart and elegant style. \nPhoto credits: James Penlidis
