					I’ve been attending Maydays residentials for at least 12 years. Always excellent events, very convivial, great teaching, lots of good improv to see. I run residentials myself and I can see the care and thought that goes into every aspect... read more of the experience.

					Heather and Joe offer exceptional classes. They know their stuff, and how to make students of all levels thrive.  Their classes are my favorite fun thing to do. Never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would... read more be singing and writing songs. I am so grateful!

					I just need to say that this is one of the best things I have done in my life.
I was getting into an “I’m an introvert, I don’t do things like this” mindset. Applying the wrong idea of introversion (which... read more annoys me) to myself.
After seeing my wife in her end of term show I thought what the heck, give it a go.
It’s been enormous fun. It’s like permission for adults to play. Kids naturally improvise all the time don’t they?
It has also I believe been quite healing. I have an arthritic condition that I simply forget about when involved in this. It’s helped me to recognise and believe in a part of myself that I didn’t know existed. A freer part. And I hope psychologically this will affect my condition in a positive way. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience?
It’s also helped me be freer in my art.
I love it.

					I've thoroughly enjoyed the classes and courses I've attended with And Also.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to the next course already.

					All the lessons I've had with AndAlso (and the retreat I went on),  have been fantastic, I’ve learnt so much from them. It’s 90% hilarity and 10% deep and meaningful/emotional.
Whether you want to do improv for fun, learning or... read more personal growth, I can heartily recommend them.				
Rosy
 
					I'm fairly addicted to doing courses and starting improv is one of the best things I've ever done. Met the most amazing community of people, grown in confidence, and realised I'm actually pretty awesome! The teachers are incredible. If you're... read more reading this contemplating doing improv with AndAlso, just go for it. You won't look back.

					I have been learning improv from Heather and Jules at AndAlso since 2014. I have always loved their approach, non judgemental and also equipping you with skills and tips to improve. Some of my all-time favourite exercises were from their... read more drop-in classes, and I now go every year to their Spring retreat. Highly recommended!

					*ONLINE only* for me in California; have done literally hundreds of hours of Musical Improv training via Zoom since 2020. LOVE these teachers and this program. Welcoming, inclusive, supportive, knowledgeable -- they will connect with you ...				
Christine
 
					I've loved every step of my improv journey with AndAlso. I've made lifelong friends, the teachers are great and each class has been a celebration of play and laughter. Would definitely recommend!				
Kirby
 
					I've now completed four improv courses with AndAlso over the last year or so, starting from a base of zero improv knowledge or experience. No regrets! It's masses of fun and all the tutors I've had are funny, proactive and... read more kind, and a lot of thought has gone into the structure of courses so that you build up skill and experience (and therefore confidence) over time. So much work must go into it! And it's amazing that there's an end of course showing in an actual venue at the end to share what you've learned with friends and family. Our classes have opened into proper friendships and a sense of community too, which is a wonderful bonus.
I've never had any issues or problems and I've felt able to ask questions and try stuff out and basically it's great. Come for a taster, stay for the course!

					AndAlso Improv offerings open new doors into what's possible with improv theatre. What's delightful about their approach is how it centers around what's enjoyable and unique to the individual improviser's personality, tastes and weirdness.

I recently finished a 12-week online course... read more on improvised high school/teenage musicals. It pushed the limits of what I've seen in the genre of High school musicals, resulting in each session with an enriched toolkit to create compelling characters, compelling narrative structures and kickass improviséd musical numbers.

As a player, it re-established the personal connection to being a teenager and all the creative possibilities emanating from that.

As a regular at AndAlso, the classes and the community have contributed immensely to my improv practice and coaching. Can't recommend enough joining them. Your improv and life will be all the better for it!				
Muneeb
 
					Very well run local, inclusive improv community doing courses and shows. I strongly recommend it!!

					I've been taking various regular musical improv online classes with various andalso Improv teachers since 2021 and am so grateful to the person who pointed me to this brilliant, high quality offer. If you have always been attracted to musical... read more improv but are still mustering up the courage to try it out, don't wait any longer and join the international Sunday drop-in at least once. If you have already fallen in love with musical improv, you have come to the right place! I really hope that these classes will go on forever. My life is better because of them.
