Improvisation happens all over the place: at work, at home, when you're messing around with your mates. Whenever you do something that you didn't plan in advance, try something just to have a go, or join in with something that looks fun – you're improvising!
But what about improvising in front of people on a stage? Improv as a performance can be a scary prospect, but it can also be tremendously fun and hugely rewarding!
Following on from the Bristol Improv Theatre's hugely popular Discovering Improv course, this six-week course will immerse you in the fundamentals of improvising for an audience through games, exercises, and scenes. The theatre's experienced facilitators will guide and support you on your journey towards performing.
Is this course for me?
Intro to Performing is an introduction to improvisation as a performance artform, aimed at beginners – no experience is needed! If you aren't sure about performing, or want to learn about improv from the beginning, try the Bristol Improv Theatre's Discovering Improv course.
This is the course for you if:
- You've completed the Discovering Improv course and want to take the next step
- You're new to improv and want to learn the fundamentals of improvisation for an audience
- You learned improv elsewhere and want to start learning with the Bristol Improv Theatre School
