Pretend Academy | Monica Gaga | You're grounded, now let's play

What is Pretend Academy?

Pretend Academy is a monthly improv boot camp for any improviser who has gone through an improv school's training programme and is thinking - What next? This class is for improvisers who want to progress in the craft - we expect all students to already have experience performing and know how to sustain scene work.

• We will start at 6pm and the session will only have a brief warm-up before moving into exercises and scene work for 90 mins, no break
• We will focus on a different skill each month
• The class size will be limited to 14 people maximum
• Each class will also include a FREE ticket to The Pretend Night (worth £10) - which starts at the same venue at 8pm
• The class is open to any improviser of any school of improv - we love and respect all forms of the craft

This month: Monica Gaga - You're grounded, now let's play

An opportunity to play with finding humour from real life situations. 

We may start from a grounded reality, but who knows where our exploration will take us?

Expect games, activities and opportunities to create scenes.
