Workshops run Saturday Afternoons 2-4pm for 8 sessions in the rehearsal spaces in the New Adelphi Building at The University of Salford. Due to venue unavailability, there will be no workshop on 15th February, so the course will conclude Saturday 15th March. There are plenty of nearby paid parking options nearby and the building is just a short walk from Salford Crescent Station and several major bus routes.
The current course will conclude with a showcase event at The Seven Oaks, Manchester. This event is free to attend so be sure to invite family and friends to support you and all the other acts!

Get back into Improv as we work on the skills you want to develop for 2025. Through scenes and games we'll develop those improv muscles! Whether it's five minutes or five years since you last did any improv, this fun and friendly session will warm us up this cold January.
Stop floundering for the first few minutes of your scene-work. Your point of view is available from the start. Learn how to identify it without steamrolling your scene partner. By combining your unique perspectives you can reach new heights of dramatic conflict AND collaboration.
Great improv starts with bold decisions. This workshop focuses on making strong character and narrative choices and committing fully to them. By bringing your “brick” to the scene, participants build a solid foundation with their scene partners and create engaging, dynamic stories.
How to work with them and how to get the most out of ones that are given ALL THE TIME. We'll also look at how to get to second degree associations, leaving room for more lateral-minded thinkers and scene-partners.
Finding yourself back to audience, head down and struggling to be heard? Amy will go through some basic staging techniques to flesh out your improvised scene work and give you the tools of the theatrical trade. She'll then look at how to use these techniques to make the most of your improvised scenes.
Fed up of playing new choice all the time? Then let's make up some new games! This session will look at how to improvise your improv and develop new game ideas! What makes a game work and what is a game anyway?
Learn to love the pun! Starting from the basics of pun games, step out jokes, or playing that game within scenes. Let’s have a punny time!
It's end of term and that always means time to play some games! We'll focus on various short form games that utilise the skills developed over the course (spoiler alert: it's all of them!)
