Interested in improvising believable love stories that go beyond the clichéd first kiss? Heather Urquhart & Jules Munns of the Maydays will take you through a workshop on intimacy and naturalism in scenes. The Maydays are one of the UK's top improv companies and have trained with tutors from I.O, UCB, The Annoyance and Montreal Improv amongst others to develop their own unique style.
Drawing on techniques developed by Heather and Jules in the development of Ten Thousand Million Love Stories and workshopped with Rama Nicholas of Impro Melbourne, this workshop will look at how we can create onstage trust with our fellow players and take our scenes to deeper places both physically and emotionally. We'll also be looking at archetypal love stories and having fun with how you can find love stories in unexpected places!
Jules is also Curator of 'Slapdash' London's International Festival of Improvisation and has directed 'Impromptu Shakespeare' Heather is Author of 'Sing it' a guide to Musical Improv and winner of Best Female Performer, Brighton Festival and Fringe Awards 2013
