Improv Playground! 4 Week Short Course & Live Show (CANCELLED)
About
Acting Improvisation Short Course + ShowcaseStep into the world of improvisation — where spontaneity, play, and connection take centre stage!
This four-week acting improv course is a fun, supportive, and confidence-building experience designed for performers, creatives, and anyone curious about thinking on their feet.
Through foundational improv games and exercises inspired by Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Saturday Night Live, and Thank God You’re Here, participants will learn the essential skills that make improvisation both hilarious and deeply empowering.
Each weekly three-hour workshop will guide the group through core principles such as Yes, And, listening, character creation, emotional commitment, ensemble trust, and building scenes in the moment. The course culminates in a relaxed evening improvisation performance, where participants will showcase their new skills in a joyful, audience-led short-form improv show.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the four weeks, participants will:
Build confidence and comfort performing without a script

Why Do This Course?
Improvisation is one of the most powerful tools for actors and humans alike. It trains you to stay present, trust yourself, and respond authentically in the moment. Beyond performance, improv builds resilience, confidence, communication skills, and a sense of freedom and play.
Whether you’re an actor wanting to sharpen your craft, a creative seeking inspiration, or someone craving a new way to connect and have fun — this course offers a welcoming space to loosen up, take risks, laugh, and grow.
Come and discover what happens when you stop overthinking… and start playing!
