About the Course

Foundations of Improvisation is designed for students who are curious about improv comedy and theatre, and those looking to expand on what they've learned in drop-in workshops. Improv is also great for those looking to meet people in a fun environment, to improve their confidence, public speaking skills, ability to work in a team effectively, and to create a more positive outlook on life. Build comfort and confidence to act and create in front of a live audience. Learn the building blocks to fabricate entire worlds from a kernel of an idea. Amaze your friends as you present complete, fun scenes off the top of your head, with stories and characters of your own creation. No experience required. A final performance will take place at the end of the course.

• Shy? – Improv can help you to overcome stage fright, and is great training for public speaking and self-confidence in professional and social environments.

• Want to be an actor? – Improv teaches you how to inhabit a character and react realistically on stage. It’s a perfect space to try out new things with and in front of other performers and to learn what tools work best for you, in the moment, as a performer.

• Already love acting but want to learn more? – Many auditions for theatre or film will call for the actor to improvise or make speedy character choices. Add these skills to your repertoire.

• Want to have fun and meet new people? – More than anything else, Improv is a laugh. People come back to take part week after week because they get to play games and express themselves in a fun environment. If you’re new to Barcelona, it’s a great place to meet like-minded English speakers.
