Hello there person reading this!
We've all been there on meetup - there's a new event that looks a bit out of our comfort zone, so we read the description, go 'that's a bit scary' or 'I'm not sure that's for me' - and leave it there.
Or maybe we sign up, but then let 'any excuse' mean we don't actually go? It's raining, I'm tired, that series on Netflix won't watch itself?
But why not actually TRY it?
This is a class for all levels - some of us are beginners, while others have more experience, but everyone is welcome. It consists of games and scenes all improvised by the people that come along.
Sometimes it ends up a bit mad but other times you can be surprised by the theatre that comes out of nowhere. We start off every class with warm ups and progress depending upon how we all feel, and mostly just have a laugh with a few drinks.
There is no pressure to perform first time, so if you want to just watch, see what we are about and how the classes run that's fine too. We operate with rotating hosts, so you get the benefit of different teaching styles and a mixture of exercises and games.
There are a number of regulars who don't sign up on Meetup, so even if the numbers on here look low then the class will still definitely be on. We normally have around 7-12 people attending. There's also a good mixture of ages, genders and identities - all are welcome.
Please note there is a voluntary £3 donation for room costs, though your first time is FREE!
The location is UPSTAIRS at The St. James Wine Vaults, which is just behind Royal Crescent.
There is also plentiful free street parking on nearby Julian Road and Weston Road, or in the park.
The classes run every MONDAY from 7pm to 9pm, except for bank holidays and a few weeks around Xmas and New Year.
And afterwards most of us usually stay for a drink in the pub.
