Improvisation Taster

BOOK NOW

Step into our studios for a fun, energetic and practical introduction to improvisation. In this short taster session, you’ll take part in games and exercises designed to spark creativity, improve communication, and build confidence. Whether you’re completely new or have a little experience, this is the perfect chance to meet the tutor, explore our studios, and decide if a full improvisation course is right for you.

Improvisation is not just for actors, it’s a valuable skill for writers, presenters, public speakers, and anyone looking to improve quick thinking, teamwork, and self-expression. You’ll leave the session inspired, energised, and ready to take the next step.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

By the end of the taster you will:

  • Experience core improvisation games and exercises in a safe, supportive space
  • Learn to embrace uncertainty and explore the power of "Yes, and..."
  • Boost creativity, imagination and spontaneity
  • Improve listening, communication and collaboration skills
  • Build confidence in performing and thinking on your feet
  • Work as part of a team to create scenes and stories in the moment
  • Gain insight into the structure and style of a full improvisation course
  • Meet your tutor and ask questions about improvisation, acting, comedy and foundation courses

USEFUL INFORMATION

Do I need any previous experience?
No – this taster is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with a little experience.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing you can move in – you’ll be on your feet and active during the session.
Is this a performance-based class?
Not in the formal sense, the focus is on games, exercises and having fun, not performing to an audience.
Can I join a full course afterwards?
Yes, your tutor can advise on the right Improvisation, Acting, Comedy or Foundation course for your level and goals.
What if I’m nervous?
It’s perfectly natural to feel that way, most people do when trying something new. This session is all about creating a welcoming, inclusive space where you can relax, have fun, and surprise yourself. The exercises are gentle and supportive, helping you build confidence one step at a time.
