SUMMARY:Solo Improv with Andre Besseling
DESCRIPTION:Soloimprov: the art of improvising with yourself \nThis workshop is now sold out.  To go on the waiting list\, email bookings@birminghamimprov.com with your name and phone number\, in case of late cancellations. \nWhether you are planning to go solo or not\, the tools of the workshop are essential to all improvisers. Whatever format or style you are playing\, you always have to take your time\, use acting skills and stay in the moment. All of these tools and techniques are explored in this workshop. \nWe shall do several exercises on different formats\, scenebuilding and storytelling\, using the usefull model: ‘The IMPRO-circle’. It explains how improvisation really works\, whether you are playing solo or not. After this workshop you will feel confident on improvising on your own\, so you will be even better\, when you are playing with others. \n \nAndre Besseling \nAndre has been a professional improvisor and trainer since 1990. He focuses on the use of theater and improv-skills in scene work and dramatic situations. He sees Improv is a great way to have fun and work at the same time on one’s personal development. The focus on solo-improv makes this even a stronger focuspoint.\nAndre is a pioneer of improv-theater and Theatresports in Holland. He has taught hundreds of improv-workshops to almost all the main improv-groups in and outside Holland. Besides initiating several improv-groups\, he started the festival IMPRO-Amsterdam and currently is the artistic director of the IMPRO-academy and the REMI-festival\, the Amsterdam festival on solo-improv.\nHe has written a bestseller about improv-theater: ‘Theater vanuit het Niets’ (Theater out of Nothing)

SUMMARY:How to be a Good Scene Partner with David Harvey
DESCRIPTION:Unless you’re one of those brave souls that does solo improv\, you’ll likely spend most of your time improvising with other people. 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

SUMMARY:Spontaneous & Satisfying Story Arcs with David Harvey
DESCRIPTION:Now sold out.  To go on the waiting list\, email bookings@birminghamimprov.com \nHow do you go from improvising single scenes to larger stories with an overall story arc? \nThat’s what we’ll be exploring in this course\, as we explore how to effectively chain together scenes with the same characters to tell a narrative. We’ll look at the common elements of story arcs\, how we can give our protagonists clear wants and needs\, and how to structure our longform improvisation so that it fits the classic beats of storytelling. \nBy the end of the course\, we’ll have devised a longform format that allows us to tell an engaging story with a satisfying ending\, and prepared to perform it at Midlands Improv Night! \n \nDavid Harvey \nDavid first started improvising and joined the Birmingham Improv Scene about 15 years ago. Today\, he performs regularly with Box of Frogs and hosts Birmingham Improv’s monthly Spaghetti Junction show. He was also a founding member of Breakfast of Champions and helped to develop the Big Breakfast\, their signature narrative longform format. 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! \n  \n5  consecutive Sunday nights\, January 11th To February 8th\, 7.30pm to 9.30 pm\nMoseley Hive –  93 Alcester Rd\, Birmingham B13 8DD\n£10 per session\, all 5 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
