SUMMARY:The Improv Gym
DESCRIPTION:Fortnightly Wednesdays\, starting 24th January | 19:00 – 22:00\nImprove your improv!  \nIn your journey through improv\, it isn’t always about acquiring a new skill for your improviser’s toolkit or throwing yourself into a new and unfamiliar style of play. Sometimes you need to practise your existing skills\, polish up your play\, and get your reps in with some feedback/pointers and constructive critique from an expert. Enter the Improv Gym! \nPart rehearsal room\, part personal improv training\, the Improv Gym is a facilitated space where you can work on your skills and draw upon the expertise of our experienced teaching staff. Each session will be led by a Bristol Improv Theatre Instructor who will warm you up and set you going with exercises\, games\, and scenes that will work on the skill areas that you want to improve\, before providing individualised feedback\, coaching\, and critique to help you get to the next level. \nIf you have a particular skill or piece of work that you want to focus on\, let the instructor know and they’ll tailor your session accordingly. If you’re working on something with specialised equipment\, skills\, or knowledge – such as puppetry\, singing\, dance\, or any props/technical requirements – please email theatreschool@improvtheatre.co.uk ahead of time so that we can prepare everything we’ll need to support you in the session. \nEach session lasts 3 hours and is capped at 8 places.  \nThe Improv Gym is about improving the skills you want to work on – if you’re looking for something a bit more structured or just want to turn up and play\, why not try our Improv Drop-ins? \n\n\nChanges to timings and pricing\nFollowing a successful trial period during the Summer and early Autumn\, we’ve made some slight changes to the Improv Gym for 2024. \nThe Improv Gym will run fortnightly from 24th January. Each session is now 3 hours long and capped at 8 places to allow for more bespoke feedback and coaching from our instructor. As such\, the price of the session has increased to account for the added time and more personalised experience. With affordability in mind\, we are continuing to offer a concession price to try to keep the session accessible for those who would find the full price to be a barrier. For those that are able to pay more we also have a supporter ticket price\, where the additional income will go towards the running of these sessions. \nIf the concession price cost is still a barrier for you\, and you feel that the Improv Gym is the best option for you to develop as an improviser\, please contact us at hello@improvtheatre.co.uk and we can discuss flexible payment options and/or bursary spaces with you.

SUMMARY:F*%cking with Conventions in Narrative Improv (with Justin Brett)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 22nd March | 14:00 – 17:00\nQuestion: What narrative/improv conventions can I use to best tell my story? Answer: All\, some\, or none of them.*   \nNobody entered a brawl thinking ‘I only have a bottle\, so I’d better just use that\, and hope  that there’s a repeat of punch 3 I can bring back\, and maybe a group game’.  \nWith our show\, ‘These Folk’\, there were often discussions about narrative conventions\, but recently this question has presented itself: ‘Why not have potential use of ALL of the  storytelling weapons we have at our disposal that we even know of\, whilst also being  skilful enough to honour them and not make convention salad?’ Super-fun\, right?!  \nIn this 3-hour workshop we will explore some of the many improv\, storytelling and just plain FUN tools we have at our disposal: character swapping\, cutaways\, flashbacks\,  theatricality\, songs\, short-form games\, good connected acting and more. We will share  conventions we love; experiment with those that we think we loathe and therefore shy  away from (yep!) and free ourselves from habits.   \nHarold may/may not end up with an arrow/bottle/endless box in his eye. *(Not a definitive answer). \nThese Folk Workshops x Little Improv Festival Ticket Offer\nTo celebrate the first day of our Little Improv Festival\, we’re giving you £10 off when you book for both ‘F*%cking with Conventions in Narrative Improv (with Justin Brett)’ and ‘Characters In Improv (with Susan Harrison)’. Use the code THESEFOLK-10 at the checkout with tickets for both workshops in your basket to redeem. (Please note\, this discount cannot be applied to tickets already purchased). \n\n\nAbout the Instructor\nJustin is an improviser and actor with a wealth of experience in both scripted and unscripted productions. He has been a longstanding member of Oliver Award Winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical for many years with whom he performs nationally\, internationally and on the West End\, as well as regularly appearing in the London 50 hour Improvathon and guesting in shows such as GTI.  \nAs an actor he has appeared in numerous productions\, ranging from new work such as Then Now and Next\, to West End hits such as Million Dollar Quartet. He brings his experience and understanding of theatricality and acting into his improv teaching.  \nJustin has coached various improv teams\, has taught improv at Bath Spa University\, has been a guest improv teacher at the Welcome Festival in Rome and has taught for Showstopper in corporate settings all over the world. \nSee These Folk at the Bristol Improv Theatre\nWe’re delighted that Justin and Susan will be performing their show ‘These Folk’ on the evening of Friday 22nd March to kick off The Little Improv Festival.

SUMMARY:The Little Improv Festival 2024: These Folk
DESCRIPTION:Friday 22nd March | 20:00\nThese Folk is a funny and beautiful improvised folk musical\, performed by Susan Harrison & Justin Brett (both longstanding members of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical) and accompanied by incredible improvised guitar and percussion.  \nEverything is made up onthe spot; the characters\, folklore\, story\, lyrics\, harmonies and music. \n“These Folk is really funny right off the bat….a perfect blend of self- awareness\, with a commitment to the story and its characters- no matter how silly”. (indiependent.co.uk) \n“These Folk is that rare combo of beautiful and funny. I laughed\, I cried\, and I walked away completely inspired”. (Kevin John Gillese\, former AD Dad’s Garage\, USA) \nPlus\, bonus show from The Groundhogs!\nMaking waves on the Bristol comedy circuit\, these mischief-makers are back 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)
