Our online modules

Our level 1 syllabus is split into four animal-themed modules, which can be taken in any order and as many times as you like. New courses start each month, and we have time slots to suit different time zones.

The Tiger

A tiger is powerful when it needs to be, but can also move in complete silence. In this module, you will focus on offering your ideas boldly without steamrolling.

The Bat

Bats use their extraordinary senses to navigate and find food, even in the dark. This module concentrates on noticing everything that is happening, taking everything in.

The Octopus

An octopus is flexible and responsive, and even changes colour to blend in with its environment. This module has you learning from the octopus, creating and discarding many ideas, and responding with speed and agility.

The Penguin

Penguins huddle together to survive the harsh Antarctic winters. In this module, you will concentrate on the cooperative nature of improvisation, giving up your ego to build swiftly and easily together.

Our Times

Each Intro to Improv course is made up of four one-hour Zoom sessions and is offered on different days and time slots throughout the year. Your group may be up to fourteen in total, but you will spend most of your time in small groups.

Sundays:
  • UK 18:00
  • CET 19:00
  • California 10:00
  • New York 13:00
  • New Zealand 07:00
    • Closed Groups

    If you have a group of friends or colleagues who would like to take one of these courses as a closed group, drop us an email at hello@andalsoimprov.com to discuss a private booking.
