It’s common to want to be less nervous when handling unfamiliar situations or to be more creative and imaginative when put on the spot. This course is designed to train you to think on your feet while having a lot of fun exploring your personal comic potential. In six weeks you’ll increase your confidence, improve your body language and become more positive. We’ll introduce you to the key principles underpinning improvisation, while undertaking a series of informative, engaging and fun exercises in class. The course has been taken in the past by those from a variety of different backgrounds, including creatives (writers, actors, artists, model-makers and coders), analysts (accountants, big business management), and undergraduate and postgraduate students (MA and PhD students of all ages and subjects).
You’ll uncover your funny side (without any pressure to be funny) while becoming more confident, creative and collaborative.
