Intro to Improv

I ran an evening session on Improv for the Fun Federation last month. Clearly I didn’t do enough to put people off as they’ve asked me back to run another.

This will be on Monday 28 November 6.30 to 8.30 at The Hub in Islington.

This time playing with movement and singing. This session is for anyone who’d like to move their body and open their mouth and have fun doing it. Believe us, it can be more fun than you think! Its for pros and beginners alike – where no-one will be the last one to be chosen on the team. The emphasis will be on playing together to allow us all to enjoy taking part

It’s free but donations to the Federation will be accepted at the end!

If you’d like to come, email Hannah Merriman: hmerriman (AT) funfederation (DOT) com.

I shot this in a single eight-minute take, which is in the spirit of an experience of Ralf Wetzel’s workshop, Leading from the Clown. Clown training is probably the deepest and most challenging work I’ve done. Enjoy.

The cult of innovation
