13/February/2025The +1 Academy: Phase 1 – Own the Scene, Elevate the Moment
Can you step into any scene and make it work — with inexperienced or difficult performers, your teammates or even with total strangers?
Inspired by the Neil+1 Show, The +1 Academy is a 4-week intensive course designed to equip you with the skills to craft dynamic scenes, build compelling formats in the moment, and confidently navigate difficult moments on stage.
Using the same tools and techniques that from the approaches and techniques used in the Neil+1 show, you’ll learn to:
✔ Create unforgettable scenes with bold choices and total trust
✔ Build compelling formats from the ground up
✔ Handle unexpected and high-stakes moments with confidence
✔ Support your scene partner—whether they’re a pro or a first-timer
This course is for improvisers who want to level up their skills, embrace the unknown, and learn to make their scene partner shine. If you’re ready to take risks, trust the moment, and thrive in unpredictable situations—this is your next step.
4 Weeks. High-Trust, High-Risk/High-Reward Improv.
Be the +1 every scene needs!
