SUMMARY:Improv Drop-ins
DESCRIPTION:Looking to stretch your improvising muscles? Then our drop-ins are for you! \nOur drop-ins run every Monday evening and alternate between scene workshops and classes focused on specific skills to help you pad out your improvisers tool-kit. \nDuring our scene workshops\, you’ll receive supportive and constructive side-coaching\, tailored to the group and designed to develop your confidence and improvisation skills. On the other hand\, the regular drop-ins will take a specific skill and explore it through games\, exercises and scenes. \nIn January and February\, our themed drop-ins will tackle the topic of The Watcher at the Gate – the internal voice that criticises\, questions\, and second-guesses your thoughts and ideas. This voice is present for everyone during improvisation in varying degrees. In this series of drop-ins with Cat Murphy\, you will learn and practice techniques for overriding that voice in your mind that says “You’re not creative! Don’t make a choice! You suck!” when you’re improvising. \nFacilitated by an experienced Bristol Improv Theatre instructor\, drop-ins are a great chance to try improv at Bristol Improv Theatre and connect with others. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Improv Triple Bill
DESCRIPTION:The Bristol Improv Theatre presents a triple bill of talented local groups. That’s three great shows all in one brilliant night. \nTHE THOROUGHGOODS\nThe Thoroughgoods are a local improv group\, formed of graduates from the Bristol Improv Theatre. Their show Yesterday\, with Jean Thoroughgood\, tells the life story of the titular Jean – a tale that could be epic\, tragic\, hilarious or touching\, one thing is for sure though\, it will be utterly unpredictable! Much like The Thoroughgoods themselves! \nBEANSVILLE\nWelcome to the video store! Pick your favourite genre\, make up the movie title you’d like to see\, and we’ll improvise the rest. Of course\, if the video wasn’t properly rewound last time\, we might accidentally start with the final scene… don’t worry\, we’ll figure it out. \nTHE GRUMPKINS\nThe Grumpkins present a fast paced comedic improvised Science-Fiction adventure where a single suggestion will be weaved into a brand new heroic adventure before your very eyes. Marvel as the brave space adventurer\, Star Captain\, explores new alien worlds and encounters otherworldly creatures with their faithful assistant Number Two.

SUMMARY:Bareback Kings - Find Your Drag Persona
DESCRIPTION:Ever seen someone in drag and thought “I wish I was that confident!” and longed to give it a go? Well\, come and try out Drag for the first time\, in a safe and supportive environment. In this session\, we will explore your drag personas via the use of the body in the space using various movement techniques and a tonne of fun exercises. Here we will attempt to break gender apart and you can push into every corner to find out what works for you. \nThis session is for complete beginners all the way through to those who have actor training. You don’t have to have Instagram-worthy contouring skills\, or a wardrobe to make Marc Jacobs weep\, you simply have to come with a willingness to give it a go and an open mind and we can try and unlock the parts of yourself that you long to meet. \nDuring this sessions you’ll Learn: \n\n A brief introduction to drag history\n The means of exploring your own drag persona using various physical stage crafts\n Basic knowledge of how to build characters from the outside in\n An introduction to the work of Laban to build character\n How to use your newly found personas in an improv setting with ease\n\n\n\nAbout the Instructor\nFrancesca Reid (She/They)\, as seen on E4\, BBC3 & Comedy Central\, is an actor/singer/comedian/improviser/presenter/drag king. After graduating from East 15 Acting School they took their passion for clowning across the globe training in both the US & UK. Their most recent solo show was a wonderfully received run at the Vault Festival of their first solo hour as the bawdy & laddish “Brent Would”. \nAs a neurodivergent member of the LGBTQIA community\, it has been their life’s work to create work that allows them to be their authentic self and for folks to feel seen in that too. From the mainstage at UCB in NYC & Second City in Toronto to international comedy festivals in Sweden\, Finland & beyond\, Francesca can be found delighting audiences with their high energy hosting\, raucous solo drag-prov or even creating a whole 1hr long musical\, in front of audiences very eyes. Having performed & facilitated with kids\, community collectives & at-risk groups\, Francesca loves being able to make strangers into friends. \nPhoto Credit – Danilo Zocatelli Cesco @danilozc

SUMMARY:BBFC Presents: PLANET OF DINOSAURS (1977)
DESCRIPTION:THURSDAY 16TH MARCH | 20:00 (DOORS OPEN 19:30)\n\n\n\n\nAs Adam Driver battles prehistoric beasts in the big budget 65\, we opted for a much lower budget alternative – 1977’s Planet of Dinosaurs! \nAs a child who was obsessed with the stop-motion work of legends like Ray Harryhausen and Willis H. O’Brien\, it’s safe to say that if a film features FX that have been crafted with time and care\, they’re going to win a special place in our heart. So it is with Planet of Dinosaurs. \nThis low-budget B-movie from director James K. Shea saw most of the budget spent on the stop motion dinosaurs\, which have been deemed so impressive that the footage has been used in numerous other films. So much so that there is a ‘Recycling the dinosaurs from Planet of Dinosaurs’ Letterboxd page. \nWith most of the money spent on the monsters\, everything else about the film is incredibly cheap – from the actors that seem to have been picked up from the streets of 70s L.A.\, to the fact they’re filming at Vasquez Rocks where countless episodes of Star Trek were made\, to the soft gauze on the film that makes it feel like the film is about to turn into a porno at any second. \nWe’re betting Adam Driver’s 65 won’t have that problem. \nTrapped in a nightmare world of prehistoric monsters! A spaceship gets lost and is forced to make an emergency landing on an unknown planet. The planet looks much like Earth\, only with no trace of civilization. Soon the crew discovers that there are dinosaurs on the planet\, and blood-thirsty buggers at that. The crew hopes to be found and rescued\, but they have to struggle to survive until then. \nThis film and event is certified ’PG’. Please note\, any guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. \nIn order to make the event as accessible to as many people as possible\, the main feature will be subtitled. \n“Although set in the future\, Planet of the Dinosaurs\, is pure 1970s camp\, with hairstyles and jump-suits that evoke unpleasant memories of the horrible disco era.” – Cinefantastique \nAll tickets: £5 (All profits will go to Travelling Light Theatre Company)

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

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
