If you\u2019re looking for an active and fun hobby with lots of laughter, then Hoopla is the place for you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s improv?<\/h2>\n<p>Improv is not the same as acting where you have to memorise lines. In improv you perform with your scene partner in the moment, listening and responding to the last thing that they said. It\u2019s about working together as a team with other improvisers to spontaneously create group stories, scenes &amp; sketches, similar to the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Improv is about creating a communal atmosphere where everyone is treated as important and part of the team.<\/p>\n<p>In our Comedy of Elders sessions, you will be able to learn and perform with people who share a similar frame of reference. These workshops follow the same curriculum as our evening courses with less of a focus on physical games to remain inclusive of those with physical limitations. They will also give you access to an team of peers to have a laugh with!<\/p>\n<p>Our workshops cover a diverse range of core improvisation skills such as Spontaneity, Listening, Yes And, Commitment, Confidence, Character, Scenes, Games and Story.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all you get to meet a great bunch of new people and have a really good laugh!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>No previous experience needed!<\/h2>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need any previous experience of improv, acting or comedy to take part. Complete beginners are welcome.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to clever, fast or funny to take part! That might sound counter-intuitive but actually improv isn&#8217;t about those things, it&#8217;s about listening to each other and building on each other&#8217;s ideas in a really collaborative way. It&#8217;s the ultimate team game.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Fun Socials<\/h2>\n<p>After each workshop there&#8217;s an optional social to the local pub. You can also come and watch our shows at the weekends to see how improv works on stage.<\/p>\n<p>So come out, meet some new people, play some fun games and have a laugh every week![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;padder padder-right green&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1526578610838{background-color: #3a81f7 !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"title\"><h2 class=\"\"  style=\"color: #ffffff!important\">dates, time, location<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1670947019487{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;maingreenblock&#8221;]<strong>Dates: <\/strong>TBC.

If you are 50 something then OK. <\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>Is there an upper age limit?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>No. We've worked with people well into their late 80s and it worked fine. In fact not only did it work fine, they were some of the best improvisers we have worked with. A lot of improv skills like emotional intelligence, understanding, rapport, playing relationships actually improve with age and life experience so in many ways you are playing at an advantage.<\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>Can I do it if I have physical limitations?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>There isn't much more moving about than real life. It's not a dance class and a lot of the exercises can be played sat down. The workshops follow the same curriculum as our evening courses but with less of a focus on physical games to remain inclusive of those with physical limitations. There aren't any exercises we can't modify to suit different physical needs. <\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>What if I\u2019m running late?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>We\u2019ll be starting each session on time so please try to get there on time. This is so we can warm up together and work together as team.<\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>What happens if I can&#039;t make every week?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>That's ok, we do different standalone topics each week so you won't be at a disadvantage if you have to miss a week due to holiday or something, and will be fine to join in again the following week. <\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>What\u2019s the class size?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Our workshops are usually 12-14 people.<\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>Is there an end of course show?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Not on this course because we like to focus on the core improv skills and having fun with improv without the added stress of a show. Our later courses do have optional shows at the end though. <\/p><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"accordion-title\"><h4>Can I pay by instalments?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Yes.
