Lights, Camera, Improv! With Milly Allweis

Sunday 29 January 2023

Lights, Camera, Improv!

Have you ever wondered how long-form improvisers come up with ideas for and develop plots? Do you wish you could gain those skills? Then this workshop is for you! Through a series of games and exercises, you will learn how to build storylines and become masters at that infamous improv adage, “yes and…”. And if you thought that was exciting, the theme of the workshop is movies! We will explore how genres can help the development of plotlines, whether it is a period romance, spaghetti western or zombie horror.

Facilitator Bio

Milly is the current director of the Watch This Improv Troupe who are based in Birmingham. For the last 10 years, they have taken their show ‘Improvabunga: The Improvised Movie Adventure’ to the Edinburgh Fringe festival to great acclaim, having received the Derek Award for best improv at the Fringe in 2018, received the status of sell-out show in 2021 and, in their last run in 2022, being listed as a highly recommended show by FringeReview.

All-Female Improv Comedy Workshop at MissImp

This is the twelfth all-female improv workshop put on by MissImp! These events are made possible with support from Nottingham Women’s Centre!

These workshops are led by some of the most exciting female improvisers from our Nottingham community and beyond, and will focus on a specific area of improvisation unique to them!

Improv is the art of making up theatre and comedy on the spot, without any scripts or pre-planning. This workshop is for any female-identifying or non-binary individuals who feel they would benefit from or like to experience an all-female classroom environment. This is a safe space to try out new skills and support other women within our improv community!

Please note: Our definition of ‘women’ and ‘female’ is inclusive, and we welcome trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people.

We are always looking to encourage people to take on teaching roles within our community – if you would be interested in taking one (or part of) these workshops, please email Orla at orla@missimp.co.uk.

Safety: Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell or cannot meet our safety requirements, especially if you’re experiencing any coronavirus symptoms.
