6 week evening course - Thursday evenings, 19:30 to 21:30

Book Tickets

This advanced course is designed for experienced improvisers looking to refine their craft and develop their personal style. We'll explore complex narrative structures, advanced character work, and sophisticated scene techniques.

You'll work on developing your unique voice as an improviser, experiment with pushing boundaries in your work, and explore advanced forms and formats. The course culminates in an optional graduation show where you can showcase your developed skills.

This course is for anyone who has completed our Level 3 course or equivalent advanced long form training.

We have a minimum of 6 students required to run the course - if we have low numbers, we will be in touch in the week leading up to the first lesson to let you know that we may have to postpone the course - but this hardly ever happens!
