Impro Melbourne is hosting a series of workshops run by professional actors for professional actors to explore spontaneous improvisation. For anyone interested in honing their impro skills for:

--Auditions
--Stage work
-- Rehearsal techniques
--Improvised work for theatre or television

Workshops will be responsive to participant needs and will cover:

-- Impro basics (spontaneity, being present, removing fear)
-- Scene work (inspiring your partner, using offers, developing a narrative, playing the moment)
-- Character work (discovery through impulse, offers and response)
-- Releasing creative blocks (playing the moment with commitment, leaping into the unknown)

“ It restored my confidence in myself and in impro. It reminded me to be more playful and daring with my craft. I don't think it is any co-incidence that since starting the course I have got 2 different acting jobs. “
