Men With Coconuts - One Day Introduction to Improv Intensive
A one-day introduction to the core skills of improvised comedy, taught by Men With Coconuts - Scotland's leading professional improv troupe.
The 6 hour session will involve a mixture of fun games, improv exercises, scenes and group activities. Participants will be given a thorough grounding in improvised comedy techniques, including:
Listening
Spontaneity
“Yes-And”
Staying open and flexible in performance
Trusting and developing ideas
Creating interesting characters.
Complete beginners welcome! You don't need any drama, acting, comedy or improv experience whatsoever. You don't have to be clever, fast or funny either! Improvised comedy is not the same as stand-up - you're not alone on stage and it's not about telling jokes. It's about working together as a team with other improvisers to spontaneously create group stories, scenes & sketches.
