SUMMARY:Level 4 - Wednesdays - Summer 2025
DESCRIPTION:Our fourth level builds on the combination of boldness and collaboration of previous levels towards probably the most famous form in improv: the Harold. Based on ‘group games’ and scenes structured together in patterns of three over roughly half an hour\, the Harold allows for stories\, ideas and characters to be woven together without obligation\, a new show emerging from the genius of the group that night. The Harold is a few evenings to learn and a lifetime to master. \n  \nAndAlso approaches the Harold not as a problem to be solved or a magic trick to be learned\, but as something like group meditation. A version of collective creativity where process is as important as product\, the shared and individual experiences supporting and merging into each other. Learning Harold will make you bolder in your own ideas and more flexible to others’. It’s an improv full-body workout and the culmination of your first year of training. \n  \n5 skills you’ll learn with us in Level 4 ‘The Harold’:\n\n\nCreating group games and openings\nCreating contrasting scenes from those openings\nUsing streams and beats\nUnderstanding the rhythm of a show\nYour role in a team\n\n \n\nLevel 4 runs for 12 weeks\, this term to stay in line with the school holidays\, the week break will be after the fourth week on Wednesday 28th May. The course starts on Wednesday 30th April with your end-of-term showing* in week 12 either on Wednesday 23rd July or Friday 25th July\, your teacher will confirm which showcase group you are in in week 1.  \nLevel 4 is a 12-week course – Payment Options:\n\nYou are signing up for a 12-week course\, if needed you can spread the payments by using PayPal and selecting Pay Later or Pay-in-3 at checkout. \nIf you don’t use PayPal and would like to spread the payment for the course\, just pop us an email and we will set up an invoice schedule \nTwo Scholarship tickets & unlimited Concessions tickets are available on every course\, no proof is required\, see our Course Policies for full info.\n\n*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. \nPlease note: we hope to move the term to the Ampersand as soon as we’re able. Our venue is not currently accessible\, if you have accessibility needs we will keep the classroom at BHASVIC.

SUMMARY:One Thing Leads to Another
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways to connect improv scenes. Stories\, themes\, locations\, characters\, emotions\, relationships. Sometimes just a vague sense of where the show needs to go. Anything can work. But which is right for right now? And how do you avoid doing the same thing all the time? \nBecause connecting scenes involves several different skills. You need to notice what is happening\, then decide what inspires you\, initiate a new scene to communicate it\, and finally respond to the (possibly completely unexpected) direction the scene ends up going. A balance of passive and active\, bold and sensitive. It’s a lot. So\, let’s break it down and examine what we are doing step by step.  \nIn this twelve-week course\, you will look at various ways that scenes connect\, embracing your strengths and learning techniques that may not be instinctive to you. Whether you are doing a Harold\, a narrative\, or something more freeform and ambitious\, this course will provide you with different ways to be inspired and give inspiration\, turning just ‘some scenes’ into a show. \nShows are built of scenes; come work out how. \nBy the end of the course\, students will be able to: \n\nNotice and embrace what inspires you in a scene\nInitiate scenes boldly without placing an obligation on your scene partner\nRecognise what your partner is bringing and bring your own offer to it\n\nThis online course is for 12 weeks from 15th May\, 15:00-17:30 each week (UK time). This term to stay in line with the UK school holidays\, the week break will be after the second week\, falling on Thursday 29th May.  \nThis course is for experienced improvisers\, level 3+ on the AndAlso training pathway\, or 1 year of regular improv practice with an alternative provider. Email jules@andalsoimprov.com if you’re unsure if this course is right for you. \nCourse Policies
