SUMMARY:The Comedy of Convincing Errors with Caitlin Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 20th July | 10:00 – 17:00\nStumbles\, fumbles\, gaffs\, screw ups; the risk-assessor’s nightmare is the physical comedian’s dream! Nothing makes an audience laugh like everything going wrong at the most crucial moment.

SUMMARY:History of Improv with David Escobedo
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 27th July | 10:00 – 17:00\nImprov is everything—or at least that’s how it feels at some point. Once you study improv long enough\, it blends into your everyday life. There is a reason for that! By learning about the history of improv\, we can see that the shows we practice today were born out of social work and protest. The focus was on “people connecting beyond cultural and language differences.”  And that practice builds community. \nThe ugly side of improv is that it became dominated by an elite set of voices. A specific narrative became prioritized and repeated over and over. In Los Angeles\, you would commonly joke\, “What do you call five white guys with beards in plaid button-down shirts\, Converse shoes\, and a hoodie? An improv team.” \nWe will talk about the origin of improv\, of “game”\, and how it developed (and mashed like potatoes) between Chicago and London. The history of improv is more than Spolin\, Close and Johnstone. \nThis interactive workshop combines learning the history of improv with trying some of the techniques and approaches from different eras and styles of improv. You will come away with a new appreciation of how improv as an art form got to where it is today and lots of ideas on where it could go next. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Instructor\nDavid Escobedo did his master’s degree in improv and is in the final year of a PhD on improv. Having practiced and coached improv since 1994\, David has over 30 years of experience producing\, performing and teaching improv.  While living in Los Angeles as a professional actor\, he took classes with Second City\, iO West and other improv schools in the region. David runs the Improv Boost online which includes interviews\, articles and animation surrounding improv.

SUMMARY:Improv Your Perspective with Emma Boddy
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 27th July | 14:00 – 17:00\nCome join us for this 3-hour workshop ‘Improv Your Perspective’ – ideal for anyone interested in personal development\, playfulness and exploring influences from Playback Theatre* with the unique twist of a Solution-Focused** approach. \nBenefits \n\nIncreased confidence\nFocusing on solutions \nCollaboration\nImproved mood\nReduced social/anxiety\nMore confidence in day-to-day life due to taking risks in a safe and supported environment\nGetting comfortable with making mistakes and celebrating them!\nSolution focused tools to take home with you \nExplore Playback theatre forms\n\nHow does it work? \nWhen improvising\, being playful and incorporating a solution-focused approach\, the part of the brain connected to self-censoring is shut off. This helps to remove inhibitions\, and increases activity in the part of the brain responsible for self-expression\, such as telling stories & responding to stimulus. By being in the moment or being mindful we can forget the worries & fears about things beyond what we’re experiencing right now. This is a powerful & fun workshop to quieten the thoughts that hold us back with the added benefit of finding solutions to life’s irks along the way! \n“I had a fantastic evening. I wasn’t sure what to expect\, but Emma created an immediate rapport with the group\, and a great sense of fun and entertainment. I also learnt a lot about myself\, and how I express myself\, which has proved invaluable in my work as a lecturer\, journalist and writer. It was an absolutely terrific event\, an uplifting combination of enjoyment and education\, and I would strongly recommend Emma and her work to anyone.” – Simon Hall\, Course Leader of Compelling Communication Skills  \n(University of Cambridge)\, ex BBC journalist\, and author of Compelling Communication (Cambridge University Press). \n*Playback Theatre is an interactive form of improv theatre where stories from audience members’ lives are shared and enacted by the players on the spot. \n**The solution-focused approach is drawn from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and is a short-term\, goal-focused approach\, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices\, and helps people construct solutions rather than focusing on life’s challenges. \n\n\nAbout the Instructor\nEmma is a seasoned improviser and playback performer with international playback theatre group ‘Story Lane’. She is a qualified solution focused hypnotherapist\, personal performance coach & conductor of playback theatre. \nHer background is in wellbeing where she has worked as a recovery worker and facilitator for Mind\, Devon\, Avon & Wiltshire Partnership trusts as well as local mental health charities and wellbeing festivals (Buddhafields/Into the Wild).

SUMMARY:Mockumentary Now with Chris Mead
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 13th- Saturday 17th August | 10:00 – 17:00 (plus 20:00 – 22:00 on Saturday 17th)\nMockumentaries are documentaries where the world and characters presented are exaggerated versions of reality. \nImprov and mockumentaries have a long and storied history together. In fact\, a free-wheeling improvisational style fits the tone of the form perfectly. Over the years\, such improv luminaries as Christopher Guest\, Eugene Levy\, Amy Poehler and Steve Carell have all used their training to hilarious effect in mockumentary films and TV shows. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore how to put them on stage. We’ll look at everything from the Christopher Guest cannon\, through the US version of The Office and Parks & Recreation\, to existing improv formats like The Documentary developed by Billy Merritt. \nThis course will help you develop the following improv skills: Characters\, interview-style monologues\, relationship\, subtext\, narrative\, narration \nThis week-long intensive (Tuesday to Saturday) will culminate in a performance by the students on Saturday 17th August of the Mockumentary format where the topic is chosen by the audience!* \n*If you want to do the course but you’re not sure about performing\, you’re still welcome to join. Feel free to get in touch with Chris or the Bristol Improv Theatre beforehand if you have any questions. \nAbout the Instructor\nChris Mead is an improviser\, writer and creative who lives in the beautiful Surrey Hills with his wife\, Laura and his cavapoo dog-pal\, Radio. \nHis focus is on emotionally-connected\, relationship-driven improv. He is lucky enough to teach and perform all over the world. Chris studied theatre at the prestigious Royal Holloway college and continues to explore improv with every school\, theatre and practitioner he can find.
