Fall Improv Workshop Series

Fall Improv Workshop Series by the Friendly Heretic Theatre Company

In the theme of shedding leaves and autumn transformation, we’re offering an exciting workshop series! What does it feel like to loosen up rigid patterns and beliefs about theatre, about improv, and our selves? What are the unique rewards of trying on new characters and strategies? What are the unique rewards of honest improv, whether it comes out as comedic or not? What discoveries can we make when we let go of what we think we know?

For 6 weeks we’ll combine improv theory, games and scene work to bring out fresh perspectives. This series is just as much meant for those brand new to improv as it is for those with plenty of improv experience. We all have some firm-ish beliefs about this artform, which means that we all have exciting new discoveries to make within it. In the spirit of improvisation, the unique gifts of everyone who joins the series will help to shape it. The only prerequisites are: an interest to learn and explore, an enthusiasm for camaraderie, and the willingness to try something new (regardless of your current experience level).

Classes will be taught by Kevin Nunn.

Kevin is a professional and brilliant improv performer and teacher on a decades long journey. He aspires to ignite the flame of improv passion in as many hearts as he can. He is all around good human with an autistic slant and an absolutely undying passion for improv theory and the art of discovery. Kevin now makes his living in a non-theatrical profession, and in the spirit of separating art and commerce as much as possible he refuses to profit financially from teaching improv. Part lecture and part workshop, his classes are participatory and inspiring as students join in an exploration of the expanding possibilities of improvisation.

Dates & Times: Mondays 7pm-9pm, Oct 20th – Nov 24th
