SUMMARY:Unscripted Players Summer Reunion Double Bill: Head Talks and I Don't Know What You'll Do This Summer
DESCRIPTION:Friday 15th August | 20:00 – 22:00\n(Doors open 19:30)\n  \nThey’re back! Two fantastic shows spun out from the Bristol Improv Theatre’s own Unscripted Players\, the UK’s first am-dram company dedicated to improv\, return to our stage this summer… \n  \nIn a very special one-off Double Bill audiences will have a second chance to watch Head Talks and I Don’t Know What You Did Last Summer. First performed in our Summer 2024 season and now further developed and returning after features at venues such as Cloak and the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (Improv Spotlight). \n  \nThink you’ve seen it all before? You’d be wrong… with completely made-up experts flung into chaos by unseen presentations and a group of friends battling comedically to survive an undetermined force\, this is a reunion you don’t want to miss! \n  \nHead Talks \nTake your seats for a TED-style talk like you’ve never seen before (and will never see again). This is HEAD -Talks. \n  \nAn esteemed panel of ‘experts’ are tasked to give presentations on any topic imaginable – from life-changing experiences to ground-breaking discoveries to a new invention that’s set to change the world. The only thing is… they haven’t seen the accompanying slide-show before… \n  \nCome and watch as the world’s brightest minds do battle with surprising slides. They’ll grapple with goofy graphs\, stumble over stupendous stock-images and get taken aback by tricksome texts. Accompanied by a charming but devious host\, HEAD-Talks is sure to be a show full of hilarity (but perhaps less full of facts!). \n  \nI Don’t Know What You’ll Do This Summer \nThis summer a group of friends set out on the trip of their lives. But all is not well as a mysterious and yet to be determined force puts them all in peril. \n  \nWill they blindly ignore sensible warnings from strangers in petrol stations? Why can’t they just use their phones to get help? How could anyone think this is worth a direct to dvd sequel? \n  \nSee how it all goes wrong for our characters and their friendships. \n  \nA comedy inspired by teen horror films from the 90’s and 00’s. \n  \n Unscripted Players \nThe Unscripted Players is the UK’s first am-dram company dedicated to improvised theatre. The group was created to give everyone the opportunity to experience the fabulous and rapidly growing art form that is improv. We aim to provide a supportive and creative environment where total newbies and old-hands alike have the chance to improvise and perform! And it’s completely free to join!

SUMMARY:Bristol Longform Takeover
DESCRIPTION:Friday 29th August | 20:00 – 22:00\n(Doors open 19:30)\nGet ready for a takeover!  \nBristol Longform Comedy are taking over the Bristol Improv Theatre to showcase local improv troupes performing fantastically funny longform improv – as well as the uniquely assembled Takeover Team featuring different new and experienced improvisers each time! \nBristol Longform Comedy (BLC) is a community-oriented group who shines a light on American-Style Longform Improv. American Longform is a continuous improvised piece inspired by an audience suggestion\, structured like sketch comedy\, rather than a play. \nTheir takeover will show you the wide range of wonderful improv Bristol has to offer. There will be two established groups and the Takeover Team: a community troupe created just for the night. \nCome along for an evening jam-packed with entertainment and comedy! \nACT ONE – Last Day on Earth \nThe first graduate house team of legendary improv night Parent’s Basement take a location from the audience and proceed to take us on a journey through improvised sketch and character comedy. \nFeaturing performers from: This Is Your Musical\, Up The Antics & After Dusk\, the improvised twilight zone\, Last Day on Earth have travelled all over the country with their chaotic\, hilarious comedic style and consistently deliver premium laughter. \nACT TWO – The Takeover Team\nThe Takeover Team is a mystery assortment of improvisers from the community who have assembled for just one show. That’s right\, just one show. Catch them while you can\, because if you miss them\, you’ll never get to see them again! \nACT THREE – The Groundhogs \nThe Groundhogs originated as part of Bristol Longform Comedy and are icons of Bristol’s longform improv scene. Watch their cast relive the same scene over and over – and see how the tiniest of changes can lead to a totally different future\, exploring the many different ways that a single scene could have gone…but didn’t.

SUMMARY:Level 3: Performing Improv - Telling Stories
DESCRIPTION:8th September – 20th October| Mondays | 18:30 – 21:00\nStories and storytelling are a fundamental part of the human experience. We shape the world around us into narratives that we can understand\, forming deep emotional connections to the tales that resonate with us. A keen improviser can play on this narrative instinct to craft engaging stories on the fly and leave a delighted audience asking ‘How did they do that!?’ \nThis 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. \nWho is this course for? \n\nStudents who have completed Discovering Improv & Intro to Performing Improv and want to take the next step\nPerformers who have some improv experience and want to develop their story skills \nWriters who want to explore a more spontaneous approach\nAnyone who has learned improv elsewhere and wants to start learning with the BIT school\n\n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nClass Details\nThis course consists of 7 sessions that last for 2.5 hours each\, and will be taught by two of our experienced facilitators. Places are capped at 12. Like all our Performing Improv courses\, the 7th week includes a showcase performance to a supportive audience of friends\, family\, and fellow students.

SUMMARY:Tales From The Wasteland: Post-Apocalyptic Improv
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 20th September | 20:00 – 22:00\n(Doors open 19:30)\nTales From The Wasteland is an improvised post-apocalyptic adventure comedy. This twisted and talented cast of wastelanders will take a single suggestion from you and craft an entire narrative show with no pre-prepared characters\, story or dialogue. \nIf the world was ending\, what would be the one thing you’d want to survive? Join us as we explore a new world and find out what’s left over after Earth’s devastation. Expect raiders\, mutants and violence over scarce resources in this absurd dark comedy inspired by classics of the genre such as Mad Max\, The Last of Us and Fallout. \nWarning: this show tends to have dark themes\, violence and cannibalism. Seriously\, cannibalism comes up way too often. \n“They have the audience in stitches\, thanks to sharp timing and an ability to spin chaos into comedy.” – Bristol 24/7 \n“Their world-building is bewitching; conjuring a violent\, gory Mad Max vibe alongside whimsical and\, somehow\, endearing characters.” – The Everyday Magazine \nWITH SUPPORT FROM: I Don’t Know What You’ll Do This Summer\nThis summer\, a group of friends set out on the trip of their lives. But all is not well as a mysterious and yet to be determined force puts them all in peril. \nWill they blindly ignore sensible warnings from strangers in petrol stations? Why can’t they just use their phones to get help? How could anyone think this is worth a direct-to-DVD sequel? \nSee how it all goes wrong for our characters and their friendships. \nA comedy inspired by teen horror films from the 90’s and 00’s.
