Performing Improv Level 1

This 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).

Come and see the graduates of BIT’s latest Performing Improv course as they share some of the skills they’ve been building over the 7 week course.

This seven-week course combines techniques inspired by legendary improviser Keith Johnstone and Pixar Animation Studios to equip students with a formidable toolkit of storytelling techniques and skills. From confidence and communication skills to knowing how to make bold choices to keep the story alive (or deliver a surprising twist ending), you’ll train the narrative instincts that will grab and sustain your audience’s interest.

Be anyone (or anything) you want to be! This course introduces the tools, techniques, and tricks used to create characters on-the-spot in performance.
