If you have ever dropped a line and found yourself blank, been asked to go off script in an audition and panicked or had to think quickly, not to get in trouble with your parents, then improvisation is a tool you need.

Improvisation is the art of making-up lines. Actors often get bound to scripts and lost in text interpretation and they forget to create. Improvisation can unlock the actor and free them up to explore characters, narrative and connections. The course will look at spontaneity, creativity, character generation, scene building, narrative structure and having a laugh.
