You, you're thinking of a lobter...

Telepathy for Improvisers with Matt Sparkes.

Matt’s workshop was wonderfully playful, with a strong emphasis on theory and implementation of creative devices to nurture impact and meaning - lots of fun whilst teaching some useful skills for improving - when you get it right looks to the audience that you just read your scene partner's mind!

Matt is also a Co-Director of the festival and front of house - so do say hi!
He is performing in a duo - with Stuart Moses on Saturday at 9.30pm followed by Kepow Theatre Company. Catch the Improv podcast episode about the festival here:

Fresh from last nights fab performance, Orson Hart's led this morning's Improv 101 workshop.

Improv looks organic and unstructured but there are foundational techniques to make it work well. Listening, accepting (and more) leads to top scenes!

The workshop flowed with energy and dynamism - highly instructive and engaging!
