“Chops” – improvising vocally – for intermediate/advanced students.
**Includes special guest class by The Improv Dr – David Charles (USA/NZ)
Lets get our mouths working as we want them to! Improvise speech with the eloquence of a poet and listen to everyone in your daily life comment on how well spoken you are these days . Learn to make your voice sound like a professional actor or singer and apply these dynamics to your scene work. Emulate the sounds of machines, animals, and finally learn how to do that accent without sounding culturally off. Put your improv money where your improv mouth is, and become proud of what comes out of it, every time you perform or publicly communicate).
7 Monday evenings from May 5, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Ainslie Arts Centre, Elouera St, Braddon

“The Creator’s Den” – show format creation – for intermediate/advanced students.
One of the most mind-expanding courses we do at Impro ACT, The Creator’s Den sees participants who wish to, pitch an undeveloped idea for a type of improv show format to the group in the first week. (Pitching is optional – you can still participate without pitching). The group selects some of the ideas to pursue further. Over the ensuing weeks, those who pitched have (with any guidance and support to the level they require) an opportunity to develop their format through exercises and rehearsal. Ultimately, one or more formats are selected for performance at our showcase show. All participants get to learn what makes a strong format, what directions are possible, an overview of production, and how to get the improvisers inspired and skilled-up, and along the way, all are exposed to the widest set of crazy ideas possible to present in improvised theatre form.
7 Tuesday evenings from May 6, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Ainslie Arts Centre, Elouera St, Braddon

“Every Body” – improvising physically – for intermediate/advanced students.
If there’s one thing we surely discover the more we improvise, it’s that getting out of your head and into your body makes everything easier and more watchable, too! It doesn’t matter what your level of fitness is or your existing ability to move well, moving MORE and with increased freedom will improve everything you do, on and off stage. In this course, as well as simply encouraging you to move more in your scene work, we’ll look at all the individual physical skillsets that make improvising with your body such a joy, including the effective communication of your ideas through mime and object work, interpretive organic movement and dance, creating props and scenery with your body, playing animals and inanimate objects, and more. It’s gym, but at your level, and with the joy of improv!
7 Wednesday evenings from May 7, 7:00pm-9:30pm, @ Blank Creative, 15 Moore St, City.
