Level 3: The Art of Truth & Authenticity in Improv
Weekend Intensive on Sat 10th/Sun 11th June The race to find the funny in improv can often leave us exhausted and up in our heads. With grounded improv, we strive to find authenticity between characters and relationships. We learn how to slow things down. As improvisers, we become more honest. Characters become deeper and more meaningful. Relationships become more realistic and true to life. The narrative comes from the connection between the characters rather than created by the actors. All characters and scenes are grounded in reality and there are less space monkeys in the closet!
In this course we learn to let go. We ditch the suggestions from the audience, we ditch conflict, we ditch the "who, what where and when". Instead we try to discover who our characters are and why they are in this scene. An optional showcase takes place on course completion. Class size is kept small to maximise participant focus

"I was thrilled to see the Intimacy & Authenticity course by Neil Curran advertised and signed up immediately. The topic is so vital for good improv and Neil is an expert improv teacher. The course met all my expectations. Everyone taking part was facilitated gently into an honest and authentic space in their scenes. The course was truly rewarding to take part in. I highly recommend this course."
