SUMMARY:Introduction to Meisner Technique with Greg Shewring
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, 14th March | 10:00 – 17:00\n(7 Hours with a 1-hour break for lunch)\nThis one-day workshop offers an inviting and practical introduction to the Meisner Technique\, designed especially for performers\, improvisers\, and complete beginners who are curious about truthful\, moment-to-moment acting. Across the day\, participants will explore Meisner’s core principles — really doing\, active listening\, point of view\, and emotional preparation — through playful\, engaging exercises that encourage responsiveness\, connection\, and presence.  \n  \nRooted in Meisner’s emphasis on living truthfully under imaginary circumstances\, this workshop supports improvisers and actors alike in building stronger instincts\, deeper awareness of their scene partners\, and a bolder sense of emotional honesty. Expect a welcoming\, collaborative environment that celebrates curiosity\, experimentation\, and authentic human interaction — all in the spirit of the Bristol Improv Theatre’s community-focused ethos. \nAbout:\nGreg Shewring is a Meisner practitioner\, actor-trainer\, and theatre-maker whose work blends traditional Meisner training with contemporary approaches to actor learning. With a background in performance\, improvisation\, and pedagogical research\, Greg specialises in creating energetic\, supportive spaces where participants can explore truth\, connection\, and expressive freedom. His teaching draws on ongoing work in phenomenology and Vygotskian learning theory\, producing sessions that are both grounded in craft and alive with discovery. Greg has delivered workshops and training across the South West\, helping performers at all levels strengthen their presence\, responsiveness\, and creative confidence. \nThis is Greg’s first workshop at the BIT but he produced his first play way back in 2007 when the venue was the Polish Club! \nGreg has run Meisner workshops all over the region and is currently doing his PhD in the Meisner Technique at the University of Portsmouth.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Improv Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays | 14:00 – 16:00\n\nThis is a fun and friendly workshop led by LGBTQ+  instructors for people who are LGBTQ+\, and is open to all levels. You can be completely new to improv or looking to brush up on your basics and practise improv in a different context.  Sessions will focus on fun\, representing your own identity(ies) in improv\, and connecting with other improvisers. \nWhy are we running these workshops? \nWhilst we aim to be an LGBTQ+ friendly venue and believe that improv is an empowering artform for everyone\, we recognise that for many reasons – not least wanting to avoid stereotypes and prejudice – some people may not feel confident or even safe to be open about their LGBTQ+ identity in classes or when improvising. \nLGBTQ+ improvisers may worry about (or even have experienced) being judged\, misunderstood\, or stereotyped for their identity\, or they may be put off by heteronormative bias (the expectation that heterosexual desire and relationships and binary gender are the default) in improvised scenes. \nThe aim of these workshops is to build community and increase visibility\, and make space for LGBTQ+ stories and experience in improv. This workshop will create a space that allows people to practise bringing their lived experience into their improvisation\, as part of a supportive community. \nA note on the term “LGBTQ+”: \nThe Bristol Improv Theatre uses the term LGBTQ+ as an umbrella term for sexuality and gender identities outside of heterosexuality and the gender binary. The LGBTQ stands for: Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, Transgender and Queer. The “+” is there to encompass other sexualities and gender identities\, for example asexual\, pansexual\, intersex or non-binary. \nYou will not be expected to disclose how you identify as LGBTQ+ when you join the class – unless you want to! \nTo book your ticket\, simply choose your preferred date below.\n——— \nTicket sales have been moved to our new events site!\nClick here to buy tickets!\n———
