Brighton Retreats & Intensives

Superb Superb Superb. If you're looking for an addiction that is healthy for the mind, body and soul. Go no further than AndAlso Improv. It is for everyone and all inclusive. Two and a half hours of belly aching laughter is guaranteed... read more every session. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Taking classes with AndAlso is one of the best moves I've made. I regularly laugh till I cry; I've learnt so much - both in terms of improv skills but also about myself; the teachers are exceptional at creating a... read more warm, supportive environment, yet still challenging you to push yourself and improve. And being around funny, creative, open-hearted and open-minded people has done wonders for my social life. Highly recommend.

Most amazing teachers: inspiring, supportive, challenging and hilarious. Can't recommend Andalso improv courses highly enough

Brilliant empathetic instructors who make classes interesting and fun!!!

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.

Amazing improv community with fab teachers who run brilliant classes and put on inspiring improv shows.

Heather and Joe are legends! They manage to create a wonderful fun and safe space to explore and always bring the best out of you. I started classes in lockdown and have not been able to stop! Thoroughly recommend 😊

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!

Wonderful team and experience! I've made friends, built confidence and i'm simply much funnier than i used to be! Just completed my second term and am signing up for the next one. Highly recommended.

Really fun and friendly classes with outstanding teaching

These people are the best on the planet at what they do. Joe is a remarkable, magical musician; able to condense the exact emotional high-point of a scene into the single most appropriate piece of music at the speed of... read more thought. If you need ...

*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 ...

I have taken many musical improv classes over the course of the past 5 years. Heather and Joe are, by far, my absolute favorite team to work with—I have grown so much in my time with them!! My listening and... read more performance skills, confidence, ...

I did a really effective and exhilarating intestive week of workshops with AndAlso. I am sure I will be back for more. Highly recommended.

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!

We spent two lovely evenings watching the shows. It was a joy to watch talented people who were so quick witted and funny Absolutely loved the venue, atmosphere and the vibe, everyone was so friendly. It was so lovely to be able... read more to see our son doing something he loves Will be looking forward to the next show

I really enjoyed the Show and I saw that people have developed their Improv skills creativity and confidence massively in recent months. I laughed a lot:)

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.

I’ve been lucky enough to take classes with Heather, Jules, and Joe (both online and IRL). Absolutely fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️

A week of the most joyous, educational, non-stop, intensive, musical improv. Heather, Jules, and Joe work at the top of the game as professional improvisers and as master teachers.

Come for the improv, stay for the incidental life lessons. Andalso Improv online musical improv classes have made me a better friend and a happier human. It's also made me realize that singing has probably always been about community sharing... read more and bonding with harmony and laughter. And Heather and Joe's supportiveness is relentless!

Warm-hearted people, great, skilled teachers! Have done two workshops including a Spring retreat and will definitely go back. I specifically appreciate the analytically precise feedback, warm hosting and sheer capacity for joy!

Fantastic improv company!

Great in so many ways. Just experience it, you will understand!

Take your improv skills to the next level in a safe, supporting and nurturing environment.

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!
