Improv in the park!
Fun and playful improv workshops outside in the fresh air.
We will be using the natural landscape, fresh air and increased space to inspire new games, scenes and exercises.
Explore entire fields and woods in character! Have a huge amount of space for physical play! Incorporate that tree into your scenework!
How to find us:
1. Book your preferred session and park on this page.
2. The day before the workshop we will email you a map with the exact meeting location, it will tend to be close to the nearest tube/train/bus stop to the park or convenient park entrance.
3. On the day you then meet the teacher and group at that location and then we all walk together to the parkprov spot!
4. If you are running late just call the teacher (their number will be in confirmation email we send the day before) and they can whatsapp you a live location tracker that shows you where they are in real-time.

Wet weather plans?
This is England so please wrap up warm and bring clothes for all weathers.
We will be attempting to improvise in most conditions including light rain but if it looks like exceptionally heavy rain the workshop will be cancelled and you will be automatically refunded in full.
We will make this call the day before and again early morning before the workshop stops, so you’ll have plenty of notice of cancellation due to wet weather.
faqs
How big is the class size?
Average of 12 people, absolute maximum of 16.
Who is this suitable for?
All levels of improvisers welcome, but if you are totally new to improv it is best to start with one of the short-form themes on this page or with our Improv Taster Day workshops online.
Do I need previous improv experience?
If you are totally new to improv it is best to try out the short-form themes on this page or try one our taster days. The character sessions are also quite suitable for people new to improv. The story, long-form and scenes are more suited to people with previous experience.
What do I need to bring?
Clothes you are happy moving around in and clothes for all weathers. You may also want to bring along water, snacks and a cushion or rug to sit on, but those are all optional.
Can I change my booking to a different date?
Please give us as much notice as possible if you do this by emailing [email protected] We won't be able to process or refund cancellations if given less than 1 weeks notice.
How will I find you in the park?
The day before the workshop we will email you the exact meeting location with a map, it will tend to be close to the nearest tube/train/bus stop to the park or nearest park entrance to that stop. On the day you meet the teacher and group at that location and then we all walk together to the parkprov spot!
How do I find you if I'm running late?
If you are running late just call the teacher (their number will be on the email we send you the day before) and they can whatsapp you a live location tracker that shows you where they are in real-time.
Is this wheelchair accessible?
Yes all of the are apart from Wimbledon Common which is muddier and more off-road. Please just contact us before to make sure we choose the right location in the park.
What happens if it rains?
We will be trying to run it in most weather conditions including light rain, so please bring warm clothes. However we will monitor weather conditions and if it looks like exceptionally heavy rain the workshop will be cancelled and you will be automatically refunded in full. We will make this call the day before and again early morning before the workshop stops, so you’ll have plenty of notice of cancellation due to wet weather.
Will I feel self-concious doing improv in the park?
We will choose a spot that's out of the way, and there tends to be other classes running in the parks like exercises classes and dance.
