This week’s drop-in: The Gender Jam Brought to you by Benedetta. Even in this day and age, much of what we see on screen is based on gender stereotype. So, this jam is about proving how strong (on both sides) they are, how easily we can (and should) drop them
This week’s drop-in: All The Yes, All The Time Brought to you by Parky. I know that we bang on a lot about agreement in improvisation. However, it really is the golden rule to successful scenes, and so this week we’ll be encouraging you to not just say “yes”, but
This week’s drop-in: Knowing Me, Knowing You (Aha!) Brought to you by Parky. How many scenes have you witnessed where more than half of it deals with the two people actually meeting for the first time? Saying ‘hello’, finding out what people’s names are, and how they are doing is
This week’s jam: Who? What? Where? The jam is brought to you by Parky. If you’ve ever seen a good improv scene, the chances are you enjoyed it because it had interesting characters in a nice relationship. Finding out who people are in a scene, what they are doing and
This week’s jam: Loadsafunny The jam is brought to you by Parky (probably). While last week’s Gorilla Burger and Awards was a marvellous and manic occasion, I appreciate that it didn’t give everyone a huge opportunity to get up and perform. So, this week is all about cramming as many
The Annual MissImp Christmas Awards and Party 2016 Thursday 8th December 2016 Games, scenes, food, drink, awards and prizes – all under the watchful eye of your host Parky. Get up on stage, matched up with our selection of other performers and see what wonders will emerge. This is improvised
This week’s jam: To The Max The jam is brought to you by Nick. Everything is better pushed to extremes, food, sport, gnomes. It makes sense that improv will also be even better if we take it to the max. An evening of demanding just a little bit more from each
This week’s jam: Scene Work Playtime The jam is brought to you by Lloydie. Tonight, we’re focussing on having fun on stage and proudly showing off our improv chops (facial fur not essential). Whether you’ve never been before, or have been doing Thursdays for years, this is a chance to play together and
This week’s jam: Inspiration for Character This week’s jam is brought to you by Parky. The suggestion that you receive at the beginning of a scene is designed as inspiration, not direction. The idea is that your brain is sparked into life by that word, and that you use it
This week’s jam: Pattern-ity Jam This week’s improv jam is brought to you by: Lloydie This week’s jam is all about patterns. It’s about noticing what’s happening. It’s about noticing how your scene partner is exploiting a pattern. It’s about setting them up so they can explore and exploit that
This week’s jam: We Are At The Malt Cross (also, things) This week’s improv jam is brought to you by: Nick This week we are doing things. Scenes are always better with things, just like life. Whether you’re a hardcore materialist, capitalist or new age spiritualist, improv is better when
This week’s jam: Goodbye To The Corner This week’s improv jam is brought to you by: Parky As you probably know by now, this week’s jam is our last at The Corner. (Boo! Hurrah! Boo! Hurrah!) In order to celebrate our move and the years we have spent in the
