SUMMARY:Performing Improv L2: Approaches to Scenework
DESCRIPTION:9th January – 20th February | Tuesdays | 19:00 – 21:30\nScenes are the building blocks of improvised theatre\, but there are as many different ways to play a scene as there are improvisers. From emotionally-focused play\, to creating logical chains of cause and effect\, deftly weaving themes and concepts together\, or just finding something funny to do again (but bigger)\, how you approach a scene helps to define how it plays out.  This 7-week course delves into improvisation techniques and theory from a range of perspectives to help you stretch your scenic muscles and develop your own approach to scenework. \nA great course for those looking to develop their scenework skills and explore their personal voice as an improviser. \nThis course is part of our Level 2 Performing Improv programme. Completion of Level 1 courses (or equivalent beginner-to-intermediate training) is recommended\, but not required. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nCLASS DETAILS\nThis is a 7-week course capped at 12 participants\, plus up to 2 instructors (14 in total). \nIf you have any accommodations or access needs\, questions\, feedback or concerns about the classes\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at theatreschool@improvtheatre.net.

SUMMARY:Track 96
DESCRIPTION:Friday 12th January | 20:00 (doors 19:30)\n  \nTrack 96 is London’s premiere Hip Hop improv group. Based on your suggestions\, we create a world of rhyme and rhythm. Our live show is a high-octane mix of free styling\, short games\, and scenes that break into hip-hop musical numbers\, all accompanied by a live beatboxer. \nWith support from The Groundhogs\nMaking waves on the Bristol comedy circuit\, these mischief-makers are off to the Big City with their own brand of improvised deja-vu. First they’ll improvise a comedy sketch for you. Then they’ll repeat it. Then they’ll repeat it again. Maybe they’ll even do it AGAIN after that. But will the sketch be exactly the same each time…? (Spoiler: It will not) \n  \n\n\n
