Impro Workshops and Training
ImproMafia now offers workshops for people interested in learning more about the world of improvised theatre. Our workshop programme currently consists of beginner's sponteneity classes - aimed at introducing participants into the world of improvised theatre - as well as one off master classes with world class impro teachers. In the past we have hosted workshops by Shawn Kinley of Loose Moose and Deborah Frances White of the Sponteneity Shop in London.
Why learn improvised theatre?
The main reason to learn impro is to experience the thrill of entertaining an audience without a script or prerehearsed routine. However, even if you are not interested in performing, then impro is still great fun to learn, and an excellent way to develop selfconfidence, creative thinking and teamwork skills.
Who can do it?
Anyone can get involved in impro - there is no need for drama or comedy experience. The classes are about learning to express yourself spontaneously and honestly on stage - and you don't need to be the world's greatest actor or funniest comedian to do so.
You must, however be at least 18 years of age.
