“Genre Generally” – Westerns, Film Noir, and every style imaginable (good prep for the Festival)
Are you ever worried when someone calls out a genre for you to play and you’re not sure how to approach that and do it well? Well…., worry, no more! In this course, you’ll learn simple ways to slide into any genre and leave enough of your mind clear enough to have fun and improvise! (And hey, if you’re thinking of doing the ImproINvention Festival, here in Canberra in December, you’ll be doing the perfect preparation for a workshop to show series with our featured guest from Florida, David Charles).
We’re usually afraid of different genres, simply because we haven’t been exposed to them and think we know nothing about them. We’re thinking with too much complexity. Once you see a little bit of each style, and grab on to one or two simple devices that launch you straight into that style, the rest is easy, and you’ll look forward to playing with genres, every time.
7 Monday evenings from October 19 , 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
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 October 20, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Level 1, 131 City Walk, Canberra City.

“All Together Now” – learn to do larger group scenes and create magic (good prep for the Festival)
Often, when we try scenes with more than two or three players, it starts turning inot a mess, with players talking over the top of each other and all trying to make a different story and missing each other’s offers, etc, but once you learn the fundamentals of group work, you’ll discover it’s not only much easier and more intuitive than you expected, it’s also great fun, working with everyone at once.
We’ll move together, we’ll make sound together, and we’ll do plenty of scenes in which everyone can each be an individually important character, each with their own attitude, and still make one beautiful story!
(This course is also great preparation, if you’re thinking of doing the workshop-to-show sequence with our featured guest from Finland, Kaisa Koko, at ImproINvention this December in Canberra)
7 Wednesday evenings from October 14, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Level 1, 131 City Walk, Canberra City.
