21 – 22 November
Improvisation with The Free Association

Discover the joy in improv; the power of saying “Yes”; the confidence to build ideas together, as a group, to create hilarious, engaging work. The benefits of improv in acting are many, but in it’s own right, it’s an art form that will delight and inspire.
