This workshop is ideal for actors, theatre-makers, directors, writers, and performers who want to develop their creative process and explore new ways of generating material. No experience in improvisation is required, and this is not an improvisational comedy class. Instead, the workshop focuses on improvisation as a means of discovery, collaboration, and experimentation within devised theatre. How does it work? Beginning with ensemble warm-ups and playful exercises, participants will explore a range of improvisational techniques designed to encourage spontaneity, responsiveness, and creative confidence. Through structured improvisations and group devising tasks, we will generate scenes from physical action, interaction, and unexpected discoveries. Participants will experiment with accepting offers, building on ideas, and creating material in real time, while exploring how improvisation can be used as a practical tool for devising performance. Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to share work, reflect on the creative process, and exchange ideas with other artists. Date: Sunday 11 October 2026. Time: 10:30am to 5:30pm.
