## Let's Play! Friday 14th November 7-10 pm £30/£40
Improv is Fun!! This workshop will focus on giving your head the day off and playing game from your gut. Let's do scenes that make you excited! No more second-guessing your moves from the back line or criticizing yourself on the train ride home. We're gonna dive into the fun and physicality of characters and revel in making Active choices!

## Discovering Long Form Through Game Saturday 15th November 10-3 pm £50/£70
Game! Game! Game! In this workshop we will learn how UCB defines and plays game. We will also learn how to make sure our scene work is still grounded and fun while maintaining games as the focus. Perfect for newer improvisers who want to get an understanding of how game is used to make your scenes awesome and focused.

## Crafting The Show: A Performance Masterclass Sunday 16th November 10-3 pm £50/£70
In this workshop we'll focus on breaking down monologues in openings to look for fun ideas so that you can start your scene with a strong premise. We will also work on following the fun and considering the piece as a whole regarding energy and style. Great if you play with Armando/Asssscat/Monologue Deconstruction type forms or simply want to hone initiating scenes with clear, fun ideas while working to give your overall show more polish.

Do people here do much long-form improv - non-narrative stuff like you'd find at the IO/Annoyance or UCB in the US? I was up in Edinburgh and mostly improv seemed to be college short-form or narrative troupes.

I watched some of the video and it put me in mind of one of one of those spiritual revivalist meetings which is either a good thing or a bad thing.

A great thing!

I'm not sure I'm a writer so these sorts of things look like satanic orgies to me. :)

Halleluiah!
