“Next Level Improv” – build upon all prior fundamentals and feel comfortable to really start having fun – for intermediate/advanced students.
If you need to ask what should I do next, or what is the next appropriate level for me, no matter how much improv you’ve done to date, I suggest this one. We don’t like talking about levels at Impro ACT, because you’re all equals, learning different things at a different pace, but this course is the perfect next step from Prepare to Be Unprepared, or for all those people who thought about doing the first course again to hone their fundamentals, but didn’t want to go all the way back to the beginning, We’ll simply do more solid work on all the basics of scene-building, game-playing, fitting scenes together into longer sequences, characterisation, relationship building, and more.
This course is to make you feel strong and comfortable about jumping into any show, and help you feel happily ready for anything. A great way to start the year and then jump into more niche topics next term.
It’s been a long time coming for all those who have asked for something like this. Probably good to book early!
7 Monday evenings from February 9 (excluding public hols), 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Level 1, 131 City Walk, Canberra City.

“My Character & I” – you, as the actor in control of the wild characters you play – for intermediate/advanced students.
We all love playing great characters, but often we have trouble separating ourselves from the characters we play. Perhaps we worry that people will think we really ARE that character? Perhaps our real self worries that we aren’t good enough to play a certain character? Or perhaps, we get into the character so much, we actually lose control of it! And on the other hand, sometimes we forget to use all the beautiful things that really are ourselves, and to use these attributes within our on-stage characters.
In this course, we’ll learn to play the most outrageous characters, that clearly aren’t like us, and we’ll discover how to manage them from the comfortable over view of our other self, ‘the actor’. Then we’ll learn how to add aspects of ourselves back into these crazy creations, to give them depth and to capitalise on both “My Character & I”

“What’s the Story?” – how to create great stories every time in single scenes or longform – Intermediate short course.
In improvisation, we don’t need to work hard to create a great story, together. We only need to collaborate effectively with simple processes that allow us to become aware of the story and to encourage it to develop. It’s exciting, and actually much easier than most improviser’s think.
In this course, we’ll look at what makes a good story, and what are the processes that allow us to deliver it together. You’ll learn a range of potential formats for doing this, and you’ll realise that you can actually get a result that is clear or inspiring to both audience and players every time.
Creat a positive narrative for your life, by enrolling in this one 🙂
