Proposed Groups

Comedy Improvisation (Improv)

A new member with significant experience of running Comedy Improv groups is interested in setting up one for our rru3a. An introductory session is planned for 17 February.

"Comedy improvisation, or improv, is a form of live theatre where performers spontaneously create scenes, dialogue, and characters on the spot, without a script or prior planning. The performance is unplanned and unrehearsed, often using suggestions from the audience to inspire the content and prove its spontaneity. There is a TV series called ‘Whose Line is it Anyway” which is still airing in the USA and used to be very popular in the UK hosted by Clive Anderson.

The greatest thing about improv is that you cannot fail, as improv is all about not getting it right and having a laugh. We will play a few games as a group which are great fun and we will create scenes together which will be spontaneous, fun and entertaining.  Each week we will play different games and do scenes, which is a lovely way of working together as improv is all about supporting each other and of course fun.  These workshops are a great way of keeping in good mental health."
