Heartcore: intro to improv course

Our distinctive course introducing our style of improvisation, open to all and welcoming beginners.
(If you’re not sure what improvisation is, we have a quick summary here.)

The Heartcore course is the introduction to the Open Heart Theatre’s style of improvisation. It’s appropriate for beginners but open to improvisers of experience interested in our approach to the artform. The course lasts eight weeks, each class lasting two hours.

During the course we will play with improvisation fundamentals like agreement, focus, patterns and association. Classes will involve exercises, games and guided scenes. Together we’ll explore, make mistakes, and laugh a lot.

At the core is our whole-hearted approach: committing to our choices, fuelling our scenes with emotion, and putting more of ourselves into the work.
