HERE ARE OUR FIRST QUARTER OPTIONS for 2027
“The Others” – Use puppetry, objects, and mental powers to separate you and the amazing characters you’ll play – Intermediate short course. 7 Monday evenings from February 8, excluding public holidays. Includes some sessions from guest tutor, Ruth Pieloor!
Are you held back from playing various characters to their full potential, because you are worried that people might think it’s really what you are like? Or perhaps you simply have practical difficulty in producing characters that don’t look and sound like you? Or perhaps you just LOVE doing both of those things! This is the course that will help you separate yourself from the craziest characters – they are “The Others”.
Including guest sessions from puppetry, object, and screen improv expert, Ruth Pieloor, you’ll have a lot of fun actually viewing your characters in a way that is genuinely and physically separate to yourself. In other sessions, we’ll use the same principles to achieve this separation psychologically, so you can feel both fully committed and separate to characters you play, should you choose to. We’ll also look at being yourself as a character to engage your most authentic behaviours and we’ll thereby see the difference between when you are playing ‘you’ and when you are playing ‘the others’. Fascinating stuff!!
7 Monday evenings from February 8 excluding public holidays, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Level 1, 131 City Walk, Canberra City.

“Next Level Improv” – build upon all prior fundamentals and feel comfortable to really start having fun – Intermediate short course. 7 Tuesday evenings from Tuesday February 16.
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 Tuesday evenings from February 16, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Level 1, 131 City Walk, Canberra City.

“The Fantastic Journey” –
- create the most exciting narratives from your wildest fantasies and open out your storytelling potential – Intermediate short course. 7 Wednesday evenings from Wednesday February 10.
Time to unleash the full extent of your imagination without fear! Often we hold back in our storytelling, because we worry that people might think our ideas are too crazy and unrealistic, or sometimes we just try too hard to make a story quite that wild and end up making a complete mess that doesn’t hold together. In this course, you’ll get a chance to tell stories beyond the realms of realism and take an audience on truly fantastic journeys powered by your imagination.
We’ll learn how to lead such journeys in a way that others can not only manage to follow, but will feel compelled to follow, so they find out how it all ends! You will learn to control the journey, to raise and lower the energy levels of those you play to and work with in scenes, and you’ll even have yourself convinced of just how fantastic the stories you collaborate with others to build, really are.
7 Wednesday evenings from February 10, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Level 1, 131 City Walk, Canberra City.
