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:20260621T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260726T213000 DTSTAMP:20260430T131537 CREATED:20260427T131224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260427T131739Z UID:10000857-1782070200-1785101400@birminghamimprov.com SUMMARY:Master the Harold with Jon Trevor DESCRIPTION:You may have heard improvisers talk about in reverent tones about this mysterious thing called “The Harold” \nWhat is it? How does it work? Why is it called “The Harold” \nNot only will this 6-week course answer all those questions\, but it will turn you into a Harold ninja. It will provide you with the knowledge and skills to perform this classic format\, and at the same time improve your improv scene-work\, boost your confidence\, and arm you with tools to perform any kind of longform improv. Time to take your improv to the next level! \n*spoiler – a Harold is a structure for a longform improvised show\, lasting around 20-30 minutes. It is a format into which any style and kind of show can be slotted\, and a scaffold for all sorts of improv shennanigans.  It was created in the USA about 60 years ago\, and is still being taught and performed around the world.  \n  \nJon Trevor \n \nJon has been teaching\, performing and coaching improv for 16 years. \nHe trained at iO in Chicago\, with the Maydays in the UK\, with Showstopper\, and with many other internationally acclaimed teachers. \nHe founded and performs with Box of Frogs \, Birmingham’s longest running shortform improv troupe\, whose performances include Improfest London\, Ludlow Festival\, Cheltenham Everyman\, etc. \nHe runs Birmingham Improv\, and is the Director of the Birmingham Improv Festival. \n6  consecutive Sunday nights\, June 21st to July 26th\, 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/master-the-harold-with-jon-trevor/ 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/graphic.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Birmingham Improv":MAILTO:info@birminghamimprov.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
