ImproMafia aims to promote the art and the love of improvisation within Queensland.
Our scholarship program assists individuals to join our classes by providing a full waiver of class fees.
We have two scholarships on offer – Artistic and Community.
Artistic Scholarship
We believe that improvisation can inform and be impacted by various art forms. To that end, we offer a scholarship each term to one student who is studying a performing art at a tertiary institution in South-East Queensland. It includes theatre and acting students as well as musicians, dancers, singers and other performers.
To apply, we ask that you supply your performance CV and a short video, audio or written piece on why you are interested in improvisation (maximum 5 minutes or 500 words).
The successful application will receive a waiver of their tuition for their first spontaneity class. If they successfully complete the course, they will be offered a 50% discount on future workshops.
Community Scholarship
To help make improvisation more accessible, each term we offer a community scholarship to someone who would otherwise have difficulty affording the class.
To apply, we ask that you supply a short written, audio or video application (maximum 5 minutes or 500 words) explaining why you want to learn improvisation. You do not need to provide any financial information or provide us with details about your personal situation.
The successful application will receive a full waiver of the tuition fees for one of our workshops. This scholarship can be used for our beginner’s classes or other regular workshops.
To Apply
Send your application (including contact details and your written, audio or video submission) to training@impromafia.com

You can apply at anytime. If you have missed the deadline for the current application process, we will consider you for our next set of classes.
