Saturday 24th. Oct. That Reminds Me - 6h Masterclass
Your life is fabulous and unique and let’s find a way to share that as a source for your improv. This workshop starts with a deep dive into first person monologues with Susan that are followed by John’s direction into an immersive reality, where monologues can support and punctuate your scenes. All levels.

Sunday 25th. Oct. Kaleidoscope + johns Story Structure - 6h Masterclass
Life is hard so improv shouldn’t be harder. This workshop is nonstop joy packed movement, with notes of extreme whimsy, physical agreement, and balancing stage picture to reveal too much fun. Improv is a visual art so let’s develop our peripheral vision and then this stuff looks glorious.
Followed by interweaving Johns Story structure, where if you like to learn by doing, then this is perfect for you to Immerse yourselves in
a world instantly! John’s popular workshop is back and better than ever. Together they are a blast! All levels.
