Class description

Shared Creativity and Building a Team

In your third course with us, as well as continuing to strengthen your scenework skills, you will start to link scenes together to make a show. You will make connections both by character and theme to build a rich, fascinating world that exists just for one night. In doing so, you will learn more about your taste in improvisation and how you can bring it to the stage.

As you form a team, you will create an environment which nurtures and celebrates differing tastes and styles of improvising. You will think about how you can work simply and productively together, finding inspiration in each other and making a show no individual could have created.

This course finishes with a performance of the ‘Armando’ (also called the ‘monologue deconstruction’), a simple improv form using true monologues. Upon completing this course (normally at the end of one year’s training), students are eligible for our experienced player courses, both on and offline.

End-of-term Showcase

You'll perform in an end-of-term showcase for friends and family on Wednesday, 9th December.

Important Note:

Although most of our students perform at the end of their courses, all showings are optional. They are not tests or graduations; they are just a chance to do what you have been doing in class and receive the adulation of your loved ones

While we strive to maintain the advertised showcase schedule, dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Refunds will not be issued in the event of a showcase date alteration.

Teachers

Heather Urquhart

Heather is an award-winning improviser, trainer, and creative facilitator who works at the joyful intersection of performance and professional development. She performs internationally with Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, The Maydays, and The Comedy Store Players, and is a sought-after teacher of musical and narrative improvisation. Her approach is playful, honest, and rooted in years of live experience, onstage and off. As Founder and Head of Corporate Training at AndAlso, Heather helps businesses apply the principles of improv to real-world challenges like communication, collaboration, creative thinking, and adapting to the unexpected. She has designed and delivered training for clients including Amazon, Investec, GSK, King’s College London, NHS Leadership Academy, The British Council, and many more. Originally trained in physical theatre, Heather studied improvisation in Chicago at iO and The Annoyance Theatre. Her facilitation style blends humour, warmth, and sharp insight, helping people feel comfortable enough to stretch, experiment, and discover new ways of working. Whether she’s coaching a group of senior leaders or guiding a room full of improv newbies, Heather’s superpower is making the scary stuff feel exciting—and even fun. Favourite improv moment: Giving the England Rugby Team a crash course in improv, then performing a show with them for the sports press. Watching elite athletes who thrive under physical pressure suddenly wrestle with the unknown onstage was a reminder that everyone’s comfort zone looks different, and that courage comes in many forms.
