A fun & friendly introduction to improvisation - FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE. JUST TURN UP!

This taster session is the perfect introduction to improv comedy and acting without a script. No previous improv or acting experience needed – just bring your curiosity and a desire to play.

Why improv? Improv isn’t just about comedy (although you will laugh a lot) - it’s also a powerful tool for self-expression and growth. This session will help you to let go of perfectionism and self-doubt so you can spend more time laughing, creating and connecting in the here & now. It’s not stand-up and you don't need to be funny, fast or clever (those perennial myths).

The kind of improv we teach at Here & Now is about listening, being present, being human, supporting each other, and turning 'mistakes' into gold.

What we’ll explore together:

– Listening and being present

– Letting go and sharing control

– Embracing 'mistakes' as gifts

Alex Menhams is the founder of improv school Here & Now People in Woodbridge, Suffolk and he teaches and performs improv across the UK and Europe.
