Beginners class: Learn to improvise


  • The Exchange 81 Musk Avenue Kelvin Grove, QLD, 4059 Australia (map)

This beginners course is designed to introduce you to the basics of improvised theatre in a fun and friendly environment.

What does our course involve?

Over the course of the 6 weeks, participants will be gradually introduced to performing Theatresports games and scenes, and will learn to hit the stage with confidence and playfulness.

The classes are suitable for anyone interested in performing impro, as well as those interested in improving their public speaking and creativity or expanding their theatrical toolbox.

You will learn techniques to:

  • Trust your creative impulse

  • Be present and in the moment

  • Accept and build on ideas

  • Embrace failure

All participants will be invited to demonstrate their skills at a graduation show at the end of the workshop.
