Intro to Longform - Scenes, Characters & Worlds

Level 1 of The Maydays Longform Improvised Comedy Courses 

CPD Accredited!

A 6-week introduction to longform improvisation. The Maydays teach you techniques to create whole improvised scenes from a simple one-word suggestion, a monologue, or a newspaper article.

What can I expect?

• Group warm-up activities and ensemble building exercises

• An introduction to the principles of longform improv (e.g scene work, edits, monologues)

• The practice of exercises in pairs and in groups

• An opportunity to create longer improvised pieces (e.g Montages, Armando)

Who is this course suitable for?

• Adults aged 18 - 100

• All levels and abilities

• Those interested in a more fluid and theatrical style of improvisation (less comedy and game-based)

• Actors and writers who wish to have a better understanding of how they can use improvisation in their craft.

"I didn't expect to find a space of such unbounded support, joy, creativity, humour and, along with all of it, a veritable cornucopia of transferable skills to cover all aspects of life, personal and professional."
