Getting Into Trouble with John Oakes

The London Improvathon team is excited to offer this Saturday intensive workshop with 50 hour player John Oakes.

In scene, listening isn’t just waiting for your turn to speak it’s noticing what your scene partner is really giving you and taking every opportunity you can to propel characters forward, what we call “getting into trouble!”

In this advanced workshop, experienced short form player and actor John Oakes will help you explore subtext, emotion, intention, and further offers hidden beneath words. Through playful exercises, we’ll practise responding to what’s actually happening in the moment and discover how deeper listening creates richer, more alive scenes and characters’ arcs the audience care about.

We suggest a minimum 18 months experience with short form or narrative long form improv is appropriate to take this class. 

You must be proficient in foundation performance skills.
