Improv for the Stage and Joy of Improv classes start October 17th, so enroll now!

WIT’s next improv classes for adults start October 17th. These will run for eight weeks 7.30-9.30pm on Thursday nights, at the Wellington High School in Taranaki St, Mt Cook.

The Joy of Improvisation is WIT’s foundation class and suitable for any level of experience, including none at all.  It has been run by WIT in association with the Wellington Community Education Centre (WCEC) for over 20 years now, and classes are always led by senior WIT trainers/performers.  This term Kitty Parker is leading, and it’s bound to be a delightful intro to the art of theatre without a script.

Improv for the Stage is our ‘next step’ course, this term led by Anrik Drenth, and is a fun dive into more elaborate ways to tell stories, dipping into different styles and formats of improv, all shaped by what participants want.  It’s the ideal course if you’ve already learnt the basics, either with WIT or another troupe, or you’ve other theatre training which used improv exercises and games, or if you’re returning to improv after a break.  The focus is on becoming stage ready, supporting your fellow players, and generally having an excellently fun time. There’ll be a show opportunity at course’s end.

Warm up your evenings with a whole bunch of laughter and revel in being spontaneous and playful with a group of lovely people.
