SUMMARY:The Improv Gym
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays | 19:00 – 22:00\n(please see dates of upcoming events below)\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? \nTo book your ticket\, simply choose your preferred date below.

SUMMARY:Double Bill: Night Fictions & The Bish Bosh Bash and Friends Presents: Story Smash!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 22nd March | 20:00 – 22:00\n(Doors open 19:30)\nA double bill of interactive storytelling \nDue to unforeseen circumstances\, David Puck Drag will no longer be performing as part of this Saturday’s double bill. We’re pleased to welcome The Bish Bosh Bash and Friends Presents: Story Smash! in their place. They’ll bring 4 unique stories to life before your very eyes\, and then it’s up to you to decide which one gets an ending! \nNight Fictions will still be performing their surreal\, second-person storytelling adventure\, weaving improvised tales with music and soundscaping to create darkly fun and mysterious worlds. \nNight Fictions\nNight Fictions are a trio from Bristol consisting of Andrew Weildon-Denis\, Lee Abecasis and Joe Urwin\, that have been creating together for over 5 years. They combine voice acting and storytelling with an eclectic mix of music and soundscaping\, to create a darkly fun and mysterious experience. \nNight Fictions predominantly write and release in audio drama form\, and use improv in the early stages to find ideas. The live show is totally improvised using your suggestions to weave the story world. Follow the dream-like adventures of our main character\, “you”\, way out into the shadowy long grass\, where singing animals and entities and uncanny characters reside. \nThe Bish Bosh Bash and Friends Presents: Story Smash\nFour directors\, only one winner. Using your suggestions our directors will create 4 unique\, never-seen-before stories before your very eyes. The catch? You only get to see the end of one! You decide who makes it to the end\, and ultimately which director goes home with the glory!
