Short Form in Performance - With a performance!
Been to see one of our shows and fancy having a go at playing? Want to explore the wonderful world of short form storytelling? Keen to improve your short form game? We will be running an intensive workshop on Saturday 15th October 2016, 10am-5pm for improvisers of all levels to focus on playing short form in performance, used in formats such as Theatresports.
**BREAKING NEWS...Each workshop participant will have the opportunity to appear in one of our shows!**
After completing the workshop, you will be invited to take part in our next Theatresports at the Miller Comedy Club on Saturday 12th November. This is a unique opportunity to appear in front of our busy Saturday night audience as part of the show. You'll also be invited to come and rehearse alongside our regular company members the week prior, and will be offered a guest pass to the show for you to bring a friend.
WORKSHOP OUTLINE:
The day will begin with some simple games and exercises to warm up, followed by an introduction/revision of a variety of short form games designed to develop listening, physicality and spontaneity.
We will then move onto developing scene work using 3-line scenes, and look at how this can be incorporated into performance games such as Genre game and short form scene work, for example Status switch.
After a break for lunch, we will look more closely at some of the elements we use in Theatresports, for example the Hat Game, and using the horn to embrace 'happy failure'. At the end of the day, we will play a two-team challenge game to explore the day's learnings.
ABOUT STORY KITCHEN IMPRO
Story Kitchen Impro is a improvisation theatre company based in London, founded by Faye Brann. Faye is a writer and improviser, recently returned to London after nine years living in the Middle East. She started Story Kitchen Impro on her return to the UK in order to pursue her love of the impro formats created by Keith Johnstone.
Until her move to London, Faye was part of the house team at the Courtyard Playhouse in Dubai, performing improvised shows and improvised musicals for theatre audiences, working with schools and corporate clients and performing at several arts festivals in the region including the Emirates Literature Festival. Among others, she has trained with Patti Stiles from Impro Melbourne and Shawn Kinley from the Loose Moose Theatre, and in 2016 won Best Female Improviser at the UAE Comedy Awards.
For the past few years, Faye has performed, directed and hosted Keith Johnstone's Theatresports and Maestro formats regularly as part of the Courtyard Playhouse annual programme of events. She has coached teens for Theatresports schools tournaments and has also devised and run workshops for beginner adult improvisers.
"Faye remembers what it's like to be afraid the first time you improvise... you're safe with her, she's got your back - just enjoy and have a good time."
"Faye is not only a great human, but she's the type of person you want around you when 'taking a risk' seems like the scariest thing in the world. She teaches, encourages and gives you the advice and skills needed to improve."
