This course will teach you advanced skills for long-form improvisation. Come and learn skills for advanced scene work!

Brisbane has a wonderful tradition of using improvisation to create one or two act plays. This style of long-form improvisation allows performers to explore one story or one set of characters across the course of a show. In doing this, it allows performers a unique opportunity to evoke a world on stage for the audience and to bring their characters to life. It is one of the most rewarding ways of creating impro for both audience and performers alike.

The focus of this 4-week workshop series is on techniques for developing short, improvised plays or extended scenes. The workshop will provide you with the opportunity to explore these different approaches and learn how to incorporate them into your work. The classes will be highly interactive with an emphasis on putting ideas into practice plus some discussion and theory. It will also be fun!

The workshop will cover:

Taking time with your work and letting things develop

Using characters as an inspiration as a driver for a show

How to create a story without plotting

How to structure (or not structure) your show.

Taught by Improv QLD's exceptional Artistic Director and President, Wade Robinson, this course is not to be missed!
