Welcome
Hi and welcome. 2010 is my 36th year teaching Improvisation. We run the official Theatresports training program. It is practical, challenging, fun and you will leave with tangible theatre skills.
The focus of 2010 is to maintain the integrity of the Level One foundation classes and continue the Level Two short form performance training known as the Theatresports® games. This class culminates in an onstage improvised performance!
This is the only program of its kind offering integrated classes with a focus on improvisation for performance.
The 2010–2011 new Theatresports® Teacher Accreditation Program and Teachers Toolkit offer Primary and Secondary classroom teachers a unique opportunity to revisit their teaching method and recharge their technique. These and the Kids Summer School Program feed directly into and support the NSW Theatresports® Schools Competition.
Many of Australia’s best known improvisors, actors, standup comics and writers have been to these very classes. Here they cut their teeth, flexed their impro muscles and learned the vocabulary and tools to take their talent forward.
You might as well give it a go!
Classes attract beginners from all walks of life; actors, improvisors, comics and writes as well as teachers, corporate professionals, marketing and advertising teams, computers geeks, impro addicts and people looking to improve their quick thinking, communication and conversation skills.
These foundation improvisation skills provide a solid foundation which meets the demands of the classroom, K-12 Drama syllabus, the boardroom and the professional entertainment industry.
The level Two classes explore the games and short form performance.
Take the challenge- play on stage!
In recent years we have seen theatre, film and TV capitalize on improvisation. As a result Impro skills are a must have for actors, writers, public speakers and presenters. This is the place to lean them.
Our teachers continue to shine as players and teachers in the national and international improvisation arenas. They bring a wealth of experience and talent to the classes. Our students continue to meet the challenge of the entertainment industry and take their skills into a variety of areas.
Improvisation allows us to tell stories, express our culture and celebrate our community.
I am proud to continue offering a range of classes to excite improvisors from beginners and interested hobby players to theatre students and experienced professionals.
