'Let's Just See What Happens'

Do you want to feel more relaxed and creative? To learn improvisation in a sociable, collaborative way? Or maybe meet new people in a friendly environment, to laugh hard and maybe even surprise yourself.

AndAlso’s first level introduces the core skills of improvisation in the form of listening, saying ‘Yes And’ and trusting the process. All this while learning to love failure. In doing these simple things, you will find the delight of creating on the fly. Simple improv exercises give you opportunities to reflect on your habits and maybe even change them. The first step to becoming a seasoned improviser and maybe making your life just a little bit easier.

Over two six-week blocks, our expert teachers will guide even the most nervous of new improvisers from simple games through more complex structures into the basics of scene work, concentrating both on the immediate fun and how to apply your new skills outside the classroom.

Our Level 1a is perfect if you have never done any improvisation before or want to brush up on your skills. It leads into our Level 1b, which will deepen your understanding and give you more opportunities to practice and grow.

Teachers

Jules Munns

Jules is an experienced improviser, director, and facilitator who combines deep expertise in longform improv with a passion for creative team development. He began improvising at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and went on to co-found The Nursery, where he served as Artistic Director for over a decade. In that role, Jules ran both the theatre and the company’s house teams, as well as designing and delivering corporate training programmes. He also co-created Slapdash, London’s first international improv festival. Jules continues to perform with The Maydays, including their acclaimed touring show Happily Never After, and was the director of the original run of Impromptu Shakespeare. As a teacher and coach, Jules specialises in scenework, team dynamics, and classic longform structures such as the Harold, Deconstruction, and Armando. His facilitation style is experimental and boundary-pushing, encouraging participants to explore new possibilities and challenge their creative limits. Favourite improv moment: Watching a group of first-time improvisers spontaneously discover a shared rhythm that carried a scene to an unexpected and powerful conclusion.
