You’re already a confident improviser - but you may not have studied what’s on the page.

If you’re curious about what scripted work can offer your improv, this is a great place to start. We’ll take a peek into actor techniques developed by Stanislavsky and Meisner and break scripts down, bringing insights into your improvised scenes.

This workshop is designed for experienced improvisers ready to deepen their work by exploring the mechanics behind great scripted scenes and applying the tools that underpin compelling scenes.

📆 Sat 13th June
⏰12pm - 5pm
📍Studio Beyond, 63 Wood Street, Liverpool, L1 4AL

Inspired by the games from 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' the players will use your audience suggestions to create spontaneous and fun scenes, improvised entirely on the spot.
