SUMMARY:Compelling Scenes with Maria Peters
DESCRIPTION:Friday 12th May | 11:00 – 17:00\nWhat makes some improv scenes ‘Meh’ And others ‘Wow’? \nWhat is the difference between an audience ‘watching people improvise’ and being truly invested in the world you create? \nWhen improvising a scene\, making the audience laugh is one thing\, but transfixing them so that they can’t look away is quite another. The goal of this workshop is to explore exactly those compelling moments when we can’t pull our eyes away.  \nWe’ll look at: \n– How to elongate tension for impactful moments of hilarity\, joy and pain. \n– How to gift your scene partners with compelling offers  \n– How to turn any offer from your scene partner into meaningful and gripping responses \n\n\nAbout the Instructor\nWhen not improvising in London\, Maria performs and teaches at improv festivals internationally\, most recently in Estonia\, Ireland\, Italy\, The Netherlands\, Portugal & The United States. \nA lot of her expertise has also been gathered from world-class instructors over the years as Maria studied with: Charna Halpern\, the founder of iO Chicago and author of Truth in Comedy\, who originally developed The Harold with Del Close; Keith Johnstone; New York’s Upright Citizens Brigade; and The Second City in Chicago. \nMaria Peters is one of the Yes Queens\, the West End’s first female lead improv comedy group.  She also performs in Breaking & Entering\, a hugely popular improv duo and creators of The Playground which has grown to be one of London’s most iconic improv nights. \nHer solo show\, The Science of Cringe\, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and played to sell-out audiences. She also writes for BBC Radio Comedy\, appeared on BBC One\, and is a regular on the improvised podcast Destination. \nOn top of over a decade of professional improvising\, Maria is also a professional educator. Her varied career encompasses Museum Learning and Personal Professional Development Training which means she’s an expert in passing on knowledge in interactive & engaging ways. \nMaria creates friendly and relaxed environments to learn in and believes in giving her students all the tools possible to find the JOY of improv for players and the audience alike.

SUMMARY:Unscripted Players Big April Show
DESCRIPTION:27th\, 28th & 29th April | 20:00 (Doors 19:30)\nThis Spring. Two original improvised productions. One Big Show! \nPresented\, directed and performed by the Unscripted Players\, the Bristol Improv Theatre’s amateur improv company.  \nRoll for Romance\nTwo things that go as well together as cheese and wine – nerdy roleplaying games and romance. It’s a narrative romcom mashed together with a dice based roleplaying game. Dungeons and dating (but not in that way). \nTales From The Wasteland\nAn improvised post-apocalyptic adventure. If the world was ending\, what would be the one thing you’d want to survive? Based on your suggestions\, our team of dystopian adventurers will explore a new world of endless possibilities… well\, depending on what’s left over from earth’s devastation.
