Disappointing news today: we will be postponing the iii! Summer Academy - we're currently in discussions with our partners @MiddlesexUni to find new dates for the Academy later this year. We're not accepting any new applications for the moment, but watch this space!
Our ADs @lee_simpson1971 and @openspacer have taken impro from scrappy rooms above pubs to grand operatic stages. The iii! Summer Academy is your chance to learn everything they know about the art of making it up as you go along. Find our more and apply: improbable.co.uk/portfolios/…

"[In improv] you have a duty to accept, attempt to understand and interact with a divergence of opinions. Monocultures are fragile. Core to the morality of improvisation for me is the idea of liveness, of openness and acceptance of new stimuli." @julesmunns, provoked by #GII2019.

#improv can be a great way to help manage #anxiety & look after your #MentalHealth but I'm often reluctant to recommend it to people in the UK. It all depends on facilitator & culture of the group. Some of them can be damaging & I don't trust many. #impro theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Yesterday I was back in London @The_Globe for the 2nd #improvisation workshop with @AngelaClerkin & @improbable1 - this time it was a #movement session with @emergentp. Challenging for me but I got to use my brain & body in new ways! LOVED it! #improv #theatre
Big thanks to the magnificent @emergentp for facilitating the newbies and @maryhippychick for leading the returners - glorious movement sessions in both rooms of #ThroughTheDoor 😍😍😍 #ClerkinWorks @improbable1 @The_Globe

It was so exciting yesterday to welcome 20 new players to #ThroughTheDoor improvisation workshops for women & nbs in one room @The_Globe and 15 returners in another! Skillfully helped by @mollfrith and #DeniFrancis #inclusivity #diversifyingimpro #ClerkinWorks @improbable1
On my way back to #Nottingham after day 1 of my #improvisation course with Clerkinworks supported by @improbable1 & @The_Globe! Tried out an excercise that would be so useful for increasing diverse voices in #improv & met some great people! #impro

After a few days at #gii2019, I have a feeling I'm going to be saying no in more #improv scenes as a protest against the "teachers" who don't understand yes and well enough to teach it. It's dangerous and newer Improvisers need to see the rest of us breaking the false "rules".

Just had the best time at the #GII2019 with the global impro/v tribe, proper inspiring sessions esp from Dan O'Connor, Patti Stiles and of course @openspacer, and a lush Maestro... a shot in the arm for improvisation nerds. Love to those still at the @DandDUK today x
