About This Event
Looking to try out improv for the first time or brush up on your skills? Comediasians are thrilled to run our first ever ImprovisAsian Time workshop for aspiring improvisers of Asian backgrounds!
We’ll have a relaxed two-hour session starting with team-building warm-ups, improv fundamentals and fun games. By the end, we’ll be playing with scene work to get you stage-ready!
Comediasians are on a mission to bring more laughs from the diasporAsia to UK shows, so we welcome anyone who identifies as Asian to join in. We’ll explore how we can add some Asian spice to our scenes and our play.
All attendees will get a complimentary ticket to our 5th anniversary show at 8pm the same day, 7th September (£9.68 value). The show will also feature an audience jam where anyone is welcome to play on stage with cast members, and we highly encourage you to participate!
Who is this workshop for?
-
Improvisers of all levels, including first-timers who want a taste of the magic of improv! No experience is required, and we welcome newcomers.
-
People who identify as Asian. We are committed to growing the wider Comediasians community and will use part of the workshop to explore the intersection of Asian identity and improv.
