We’re going to spend 6 weeks exploring how we can be the best scene partner possible to elevate the scenes we’re in and generally be one of those improvisers who everybody wants to work with! \nWe’ll go deeper than “Yes\, and…” to see how we can properly accept and build on whatever our scene partner brings\, we’ll play with techniques for “getting out of your own way” to let scenes evolve spontaneously\, as well as discovering when the strongest supporting move is actually to fearlessly drive the direction of the scene. This course should suit anybody who wants their improv scenes to be more playful and satisfying. My belief is that the more you try to make your scene partner look good\, the better you look in the process! \nFeedback from previous courses: \n“The course was really good. I learned a lot\, and feedback was always useful.” \n“I thought the course was great. David really understands this\, is really good at it\, explains it well\, and keeps it simple for beginners. It’s hard to be good at all of those.” \n \nDavid Harvey \nDavid first starting improvising and joined the Birmingham Improv Scene about 15 years ago. He performs regularly with Box of Frogs and hosts Birmingham Improv’s monthly Spaghetti Junction show. He manages a technology training academy in his 9-5 and is passionate about helping people get into tech\, just like he’s passionate about helping people grow and develop their improvisation skills! \n6  consecutive Sunday nights\, May 10th To June 14th\, 7.30pm to 9.30 pm\nMoseley Hive –  93 Alcester Rd\, Birmingham B13 8DD\n£10 per session\, all 6 session fees payable in advance (payment in installments available through paypal – see below).\nIf you are unwaged\, contact us at info@birminghamimprov.com for a discount code.\nSession is capped at 16 people. \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n  URL:https://birminghamimprov.com/event/how-to-be-a-good-scene-partnerwith-david-harvey/ LOCATION:Moseley Hive\, 93 Alcester Rd\,\, Birmingham\, B13 8DD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Improver drop-ins ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birminghamimprov.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/David-and-David.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Birmingham Improv":MAILTO:info@birminghamimprov.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260520T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260520T213000 DTSTAMP:20260519T054551 CREATED:20260218T090449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260218T091410Z UID:10000849-1779305400-1779312600@birminghamimprov.com SUMMARY:Midlands Improv Night DESCRIPTION:All the best improv from the Midlands! \nA different Smörgåsbord of improvised comedy joy every time! \nTHIRD WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH \nat the delightful 1000 Trades Pub\n16 Frederick St\, Birmingham B1 3HE \nDoors open 7.15.  Show starts at 7.30.  Come earlier if you fancy a drink first. \nFREE ENTRY (recommended donation\, £5) URL:https://birminghamimprov.com/event/midlands-improv-night-2-2/2026-05-20/ LOCATION:1000 Trades\, 16 Frederick Street\, Birmingham\, B1 3HE CATEGORIES:Performances ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birminghamimprov.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/MidImprov.logoLarge.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260527T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260527T213000 DTSTAMP:20260519T054551 CREATED:20251205T141714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T141714Z UID:10000842-1779910200-1779917400@birminghamimprov.com SUMMARY:Birmingham Improv Comedy Jam (ft.
