The Maydays Performance 'Stealing from Theatre' Improvisation Course
8-weeks on Mondays, 7pm-9.30pm from 14th January to 4th March 2019.

In Level 3 of The Maydays advanced improvisation courses, youll have 8 weeks to explore what it means to improvise a play. Well consider the differences between a theatre show and an improv show, how to get from the start to the finish, and well look at the improv rule book with a critical eye.

What does it mean to be theatrical? How do we know whats coming next? Does a play have to be narrative? What can we learn from the likes of Brecht, Pinter, Naturalism, Expressionism, Theatre of the Absurd, Classical, Shakespeare, Eclectic or Contemporary playmakers (nb Dont worry if this means nothing to you now!) Youll be encouraged to research theatre styles before trying things out in workshops.

What can you expect?

Stagecraft  space on the stage and how to utilise it to make it - and us - mean something
Stealing creative ideas from scripted theatre shows
Emotional Intensity
Narrative  getting from the start to the finish
Status
Direct address and breaking the fourth wall

Well develop our improv toolkit before performing a show (or shows) that aim to look like scripted theatre. Emotionally connected scenes, relationships, conflict, serious and dramatic themes, sadness, delight, physicality and maybe even multimedia (music, lights, props etc).

Who is this course suitable for?

Adults ages 18-100
People who have enjoyed longform performance courses already
Any improviser who has already done a level 2 or 3 course

Performance showcase for family & friends at the Maydays Studio at 8 pm on 11th March 2019.
