OCTOBER 18th 2025 | WELL DONE STAKES with SEAN MASON

This workshop will look at strategies for supporting from the sidelines without stealing focus from the scene or derailing the game.
NOVEMBER 15th 2025 | BIG CHARACTERS with JOHN COOPER
Using Jill Bernard's VAPAPO technique -- incorporating voice, attitude, physicality and more -- to create larger than life personalities, we'll look at how you can break out of "go to" characters and push yourself to explore new avenues of scene work.
NOVEMBER 22nd 2025 | GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ROUND with SEAN MASON
What happens when you take a suggestion and haven't got a clue what it is? What happens when your scene partner doesn't get your incredibly niche reference? We all know a little about a lot or a lot about a little but how can we utilise our skills and knowledge (or lack thereof) in scenes and games?
NOVEMBER 29th 2025 | GIBBERISH & GIBBERISH GAMES with BRON EDGE
Gibberish games are a staple of short form improv but can be stressful! In this session we'll look at strategies for making sure games and scenes stay fun for audiences and improvisers alike and leave your fluent in your own made up language.
DECEMBER 6th 2025 | GAMES with BRON EDGE & SEAN MASON
It's the end of term and that means games! This class puts the skills you've developed over the past seven sessions into practice and sets you up for the workshop showcase!
