Improvisers can tell a whole story to their audience without ever opening their mouths. In this course we’ll explore how space\, mime and gesture can bring richness and authenticity to improvised scenes. Unlocking these worlds will give improvisers new tools for play and comedy\, but also a greater capacity to create profundity and poignancy in their work.  \nCombining exercises inspired by the pedagogy of L’Ecole Internationale Jacques Lecoq and over a decade of teaching and performing improvised theatre shows\, Caitlin’s workshop will have her usual focus on listening\, detail\, and having outrageous amounts of fun. \nExperience Level: Improvisors with a decent level of experience looking to expand their tool kit. \n\n \n \n \n \nAbout the Instructor \nCaitlin is a theatre-maker\, actor and teacher currently based in Paris. Since discovering improv at university in 2011 she spent the next decade as a confirmed improv addict\, performing and co-creating shows with Murder\, She Didn’t Write\, The Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes\, This Is Your Musical\, The Bish Bosh Bash\, Screwball!\, Completely Wonderful and the Bristol Improv Marathons\, among others. Improv has taken her all over the world; from performing in a circus tent in Australia\, teaching and co-directing in Korea and being rained on for nine years at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She is a co-founder and former Artistic Director of the Bristol Improv Theatre\, and taught and developed courses there as a senior instructor for eight years. Her acting and devising credits include The Rocky Shock and Drac & Jill\, both Wardrobe Theatre. \nShe is currently studying physical theatre at the Ecole Internationale de Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. \nClass Details\nThis weekend intensive is capped at 18 participants. \nIf you have any accommodations or access needs\, questions\, feedback or concerns about the classes\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at hello@improvtheatre.net.

Lush Southern accents\, unrequited love\, passionately requited love\, and inner turmoil all feature in this unique period piece. Set against the backdrop of the deep south\, where everyone has a role to fulfill in life\, we see characters who struggle to find their place. In 2023\, when the world is again in turmoil and society seems unrecognisable\, this piece takes on new meaning. \nIn the works of Tennessee Williams\, vivid dreams collide with stark reality. Repressed desires\, an excess of emotion\, and poetic language express the inner life of the playwright and each character as they struggle against the confines of society. Tennessee Williams’ goal was to write plays that were ‘a picture of my own heart’; we strive to emulate this approach as we wear our hearts on our sleeves with each show. \nDeveloped in Conjunction with Kaci Beeler of American Berserk Theatre in Austin\, Texas \nClose Quarters by Michelle\nEver wanted to be a fly on the wall? See what zookeepers get up to after hours? The panic in a teacher’s lounge? Explore the web of intrigue in your local leisure centre? \nOne of London’s top improv comedy groups\, Michelle lifts the lid on a location of YOUR choosing! See everyday places in a new light\, stuffed with a whirlwind of absurd characters\, emotional confrontations and quick witted comedy from start to finish.

He soon discovers what he is hunting might not be human. \nWATCH THE TRAILER > \nThis film and event is certified ‘18′. \nIn order to make the event as accessible to as many people as possible\, the main feature will be subtitled. \nAll tickets : £5 (All profits will go to Bristol Soup Run Trust) \n“As a throwaway 80’s B-movie you could do much worse. Hauer\, as is his way\, plays the rough and silent type… and there is enough gore\, monsters and violence to satisfy.” – EmpireOnline \n“Split Second isn’t a great movie\, but there’s a great movie within Split Second.” – Outburn \n“Split Second offers up a ton of horror and police clichés placed into a highly original and well done future world\, all aided by some solid performances.
