You have to be funny don't you?
Do I need to have any prior experience?
Participants don’t need any drama, acting, comedy or improvisation experience whatsoever. Just bring yourself and your willingness to try new things! You will be in a safe and encouraging environment.
Do you travel internationally?
Yes. Please contact us with the details of your event or business and we will work with you in creating a training programme.
How long are your sessions?
Our masterclasses can be as short as 60 minutes to as long as 3 days, depending on your company's objectives.
What is the PAPA Method?
The PAPA Learning Methodology was developed by Alexander McWilliam at Improv4Business. It is a skill acquisition method to enable you to learn skills efficiently and effectively. It is split into 4 stages:
How many people can you have in a session?
We are very flexible with numbers, but we have found that between 10 and 20 works well depending on the masterclass.
What do you do in the masterclass?
Our masterclasses use experiential learning throughout. The most effective and efficient way to develop a skill. There are no boring PowerPoint presentations in sight! Within 5 minutes we are up on our feet, actively engaging in the process.
What are the best things to wear on the day?
There are no special clothing requirements. Just wear clothes that you feel comfortable moving around in.
Is it going to be like Amdram?
In short no. We are not working on your acting skills at all. We are using the skills that improvisers use to develop core business skills. These ‘soft skills’ are ones that cannot be learned from a book, you have to practice them in real life situations. Improvisation gives you that opportunity.
I can't improvise!
