The Folly Improv Performers Course
Youve been doing improv for a while. You know you can do more and go deeper. Unlock your creativity and take your improv to the next level.
Or maybe youre a performer you know what it is to go on stage in front of an audience, you know a bit about being directed. You have heard that improv can help you with your existing shows and youd like to add improv comedy to your skills.
We run a monthly night at the Victoria pub to showcase Midlands comedy talent. Performers course participants may want to sign up to perform at The Folly Scratch Night for an opportunity to show works in progress and have a great night out.
Key Skills developed over the 8 weeks:
How to create and play with dynamic tension
Identifying and using impulses
Go into scenes with courageous collaboration
What being compelled by the scene means
How to use theatrical wants, needs, objectives in longform
What emotions are for how to use them to create action
How to stop talking and get good at using silence
How to deal with awkwardness and use your resilience
How to use logic and reason without coming off as boringly clever-clever
What inference is and how to write a play backwards
Get comfortable with surprise, trust, listening and being listened to
Make it look like youre a goddamn mind-reader
Practise knowing you, and your team, are amazing.
If we treat each other as if we are geniuses, poets, and artists, we have a better chance of becoming that on-stage. Del Close
