USING IMPROV IN NEW AND UNIQUE WAYS

★ DISCOVER YOUR OWN IMPROV SHOW AND HONE IT ONE STAGE ★

Performance Lab is an advanced 9 week course where we work with a group of performers to help them devise and develop their own improv show. As well as weekly classes, the course incorporates biweekly performances at the FA theatre. So, in addition to coaching in class, the team will have opportunities to hone their format in front of an audience and to receive direction and feedback on their live shows from their teacher.

The course culminates with a three date run at the FA theatre where the team will put on their new improv show (remunerated in line with other guest shows at the FA).

This course is the FA most advanced improv course and is an opportunity for performers to get advanced coaching and feedback from an experienced FA teacher
