Improv WORKSHOPs
Learn how to improvise, gain confidence, & have fun IN THESE DROP-IN CLASSES
"It's like playtime for adults!"
In our drop-ins you’ll be guided through a core element of improvisational comedy in a friendly and supportive environment. But most importantly, you'll have a laugh!
You don’t need to be an Oscar winner to join us, in fact you don't need any acting, improv or comedy experience at all. The workshops focus on exercises and games to develop our teamwork and listening skills which easily lead you into creating entertaining scenes and characters!
Each week is something completely different and exciting! One week we'll be creating and exploring character, the next week we might be practicing how to improvise a narrative and then the next week we'll do the whole workshop in mime.
The workshops usually consist of silly ice-breaker warm ups, exercises to learn new skills and lots of time to play scenes and practise what we’ve learnt. Then, if you want to, you can join us at the pub afterwards to get to know each other. All our workshops are open to absolutely anyone (over 17)!
Improv is the perfect skill to develop if you are an actor looking to enhance your skill set, a writer looking for inspiration, or anyone looking to unwind after work and gain a better understanding of creative collaboration.
The workshops take place every Wednesday at either The Hawth Theatre in Crawley or The Archway Theatre in Horley.
When you book a place on a workshop you will have to agree to the Code of Conduct.
Would you prefer to learn from the comfort of your own home? We run online classes too.
TEACHERS
Most of the Workshops are taught by Ed, founder of Dingbats, who has been teaching improv for over seven years. Occasionally we get a special guest improv teacher to impart their wisdom.
