LEARN Improv

Mad Improv

Our current courses:

March – April 2024

GREEN COURSE – beginners: 

What’s it all about?

If you’re a beginner or near-beginner of improv (or performing in general) join us to learn the key skills of improv – spontaneity, Yes! And…, building a platform and using emotions – in a fun and supportive environment. By the end of the course you’ll feel confident improvising with a partner in front of the class and have learnt transferable skills to apply to other areas of your life and work.

What do I need to know?

You don’t need any prior experience in improv or performing to enjoy our GREEN COURSE, only intrigue and some courage to take the first step!

All our courses are 100% PRACTICAL, led by professional & highly-experienced instructors and are – above all – great FUN!

BLUE COURSE – post-beginners: 

What’s it all about?

This course is ideal if you’ve already taken a class or course in the basics of improv and you’re looking for an opportunity to deepen your understanding of those skills. By the end of this course you’ll have the confidence and ability to create whole improv scenes, with a beginning, middle and end, starting from nothing.

What do I need to know?

If you already know some of the basic principles of improv, perhaps through our GREEN COURSE for beginners or through a previous class or course and you want to take your improv abilities further, this course is for you!

All our courses are 100% PRACTICAL, led by professional & highly-experienced instructors and are – above all – great FUN!

RED COURSE – pre-intermediate: 

What’s it all about?

This course is for improvisers who have a solid foundation in building 2-person scenes who want to take the next step in learning the skills necessary for long-form improv as part of an ensemble. By the end of this course you’ll have the confidence and ability to improvise simple long-form structures, edit scenes and begin to build longer stories. 

What do I need to know?

This course is an excellent next-step following participation in our BLUE COURSE for post-beginners or if you have existing experience elsewhere in playing 2-person scenes and wish to join a dynamic and fun group of participants who want to develop the ability to tell stories together. 

All our courses are 100% PRACTICAL, led by professional & highly-experienced instructors and are – above all – great FUN!

IMPROV CLUB – intermediate:

What’s it all about?

The place for people with a solid foundation in improv to come together and develop skills, have fun and make new creative friends. Each 6-week course focuses on a different aspect of improv – acting, comedy, storytelling… and so much more!

Our MARCH-APRIL IMPROV CLUB course will focus on putting on a show: we’ll put our experience of dynamic long-form structures into practice, as well as draw on our spontaneity and creativity to develop, test, practice and eventually perform our own long-form improv show!

What do I need to know?

A solid foundation in improv could be having completed our RED COURSE for pre-intermediate improvisers, or a similar training or practical experience elsewhere. Just let us know your experience when you get in touch. 

All of our courses are 100% PRACTICAL, led by professional & highly-experienced instructors and are – above all – great FUN!
