Take the next step in your musical improv journey and start building the skills needed to create an improvised musical. This course focuses on transforming scenes into songs and developing longer narrative arcs.

You’ll learn how to heighten emotional moments, recognise when a song should begin, and support ensemble storytelling through music.

You’ll work on seamless transitions from dialogue into song, identifying the emotional “why” of a musical moment and foundations of improvised musical formats.

Ideal for students who have completed Musical Improv 101 or have equivalent experience.

This course is run by Nottingham Playhouse and taught by Little John Improv’s Lloydie James Lloyd.

Ready to level-up your improv?

When you’ve got a solid grounding in the core skills of improv, this level will help you finesse your skills, work on more advanced concepts and work on making you a more adaptable improviser.

Each term the advanced students learn new skills and work on a different improv format ready for their end of term showcase at Nottingham Playhouse.

Prerequisites: “Making It Up: Core Skills” for at least one term. If you have significant improv experience elsewhere you may also apply.

This course is run by Nottingham Playhouse and taught by Little John Improv’s Naomi Murden.

Using improvisational techniques, you will learn how discovery ‘in the moment’ leads to fascinating characters, interesting scenes and moments of comedy that you would never have been able to plan.

Over a period of ten weeks, you will learn the art of collaborative scene work and become a team of players that support each other on stage and off while each discovering your unique comedic voice.

At the end of term, you get to perform a showcase for an audience.

Acting or improv experience is useful but not essential.

Mon 4th: Workshop runs from 1pm - 4pm

If you want to tune-up your two person scene work or if you have a duo/two-prov you are working on, this could be just what you are looking for. This workshop focuses on scenic and play dynamics through pairs.

Using acting exercises we’ll explore what improvisation can be when we drop our guards and allow ourselves to live on stage, see and be seen.

We’ll spend the first hour working out with some improv drills and different ways to connect and the second two playing with the duo dynamics we can create in the room.
