We are getting ready to launch a new project called Playing It Up. These will be a series of short courses and intensive one-day workshops aimed at performers who are already working in stand-up comedy but who do not have formal performer training. 

 

The Playing It Up courses will improve physicality and expression to help round-out and emphasise your on-stage persona through collaborative game play in pairs and small groups. Using voice, body, persona, status and improvisation exercises and games this will be a low-pressure, fun way to improve your skills and get the most out of yourself on stage. We will work on the fundamentals of stage-presence, how to command attention, fill your space and maximise your performance as well as honing in on exactly what it is you want to be conveying to your crowd, who you want to be behind the mic.  

​

At this stage we are running one "tester course" to refine the course content before we launch fully next year.

 

If you are interested in taking part please complete the application form here.

​

We aim to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. If you have any additional needs or concerns please don't hesitate to let us know. Any issues will be held in complete confidence and we'll assist in any way possible. The tester course will be provided to a maximum of 10 students. Spaces are strictly limited and will be finalised within the next few weeks.
