We start each day with easy and fun warmups and drama games, before learning a core principle of improvisation.
There is a saying in improv - 'bring a brick, not a skyscraper', which means that even the smallest contributions are a valuable part of the whole picture we're building together.
Kids become more confident expressing themselves in a group setting. We put everything we've learnt into practice by ending each session with performance games and at the end of the week we will perform some of our favourites to friends and family.

DAY THREE
Creating characters.
DAY FOUR
Playing from emotion.
