The Maydays: Improvising Shakespeare

@ The Maydays Studio
Admn: £105.00

Improv Intensive Weekend Workshop with Mayday, Jenny Rowe
In this Level 2 weekend workshop, you’ll spend two days improvising in the style of Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare was a genius, so whilst we probably can’t quite reach his level of playwriting in 48 hours, we CAN learn a huge amount to inspire and develop our improvised theatre and comedy performances.

Over two days, you’ll immerse yourself in Shakespearean language, stories, types of characters, and explore the Elizabethan World to create your own versions of scenes and sketches in the style of Shakespeare’s plays.

What can I expect?
– What did Shakespeare ever do for us?
Soliloquy, monologues, entrances, chorus, set-description, deaths, narration, verse, etc.
– Simile and metaphor to make your language more poetic and descriptive (inc. making up words).
– What is Iambic pentameter? Why it’s not scary (and why we won’t use it much anyway).
– Playing Status
– Improvising as Elizabethans (in their world).
– Exploring Shakespeare’s stories (comedy, tragedy, history, magic, shipwrecks, and more).
and deaths.

Who is this course suitable for?
– Improvisers, and actors with some improvisation experience (Level 1 Maydays course, or above).
– 17-100 years old!
– Performers who want to explore Shakespeare from a fresh angle
– Improvisers who want to develop and explore their verbal dexterity and theatrical stagecraft.

This course is being led by Maydays superstar, Jenny Rowe who also performs with Impromptu Shakespeare

As an improviser, Jen as well as being a firm fixture in the Maydays team, she has toured with Fluxx, performs with Impromptu Shakespeare, plays two-person improv (Two Seats Four Cheeks) with Lloydie James Lloyd and once won £2.38 during an ‘improv-off’ in a Ken Campbell workshop. She has trained at Secondcity and Annoyance, teaches Improv for Creative Writing and has two writing projects on the go: a sitcom pilot and a one-woman show about an SF writer. Her recent fringe runs in 2019, “Tiptree: No-one else’s damn secret but my own” have been a smash, with 5-star reviews pouring in from audiences, so yeah, she’s busy.

Macaron Masterclass

@ Brighton Cookery School (New Address)
Admn: £50

Most historians are inclined to believe that the macaron originated in Italy, probably Venice, and was transported to France by sailors where it was further refined by French pâtissier techniques. The consensus is that the word “macaron” comes from the Italian word ammaccare which means to crush.

You’ll be making, baking and filling 3 varieties during your time with us.

Typical menu:

Salted caramel filled with a luxurious chocolate ganache
Strawberry filled with a mixed berries paste
Lemon with a zingy lemon curd

The Maydays: Beginning as you mean to go on

@ The Maydays Studio
Admn: £115.00

Improv Intensive Weekend Workshop with Mayday, Jules Munns
Telling stories is a natural, human impulse. They allow us to sort and examine the world, learning from those who came before, whether they existed or not. Yet when improvising stories, it is all too common for narrative to seem more of a curse than a blessing. We find ourselves talking about what has just happened and having to work harder and harder to craft a story that works. And wheres the fun in just making something that works? What began as fun becomes slog and somehow the show seems to be all about making the show happen.

In this two-day workshop, you will learn techniques to create story-driven improvisation in a way which creates and serves clear character goals, points of view and worldviews. You will find yourself building worlds which are subtle and nuanced, not simple parodies of genre and placing characters in them that have multiple possible fates, giving opportunities to surprise and delight your fellow players and audiences alike.

This workshop will not teach you a formula for narrative improv – there isn’t one – but it will give a set of tools and ways of working which will help you to talk about and approach it and understand how a story-driven show can be constructed in such a way that it liberates rather than restricts, giving opportunity for simple, dramatic play.

Who is this course suitable for?
– Adults aged 18 – 100
– People who enjoyed Level 2 or 3 longform improv classes (performance level and/or advanced level 3 courses)
– Improvisers already regularly performing longform scenes and shows

In addition to being a member of the Maydays, Jules is the director of Fringe favourite Impromptu Shakespeare. He also directed Magicked – the Improvised Harry Potter and has, over the past five years, gone on a journey from resistance to narrative to delighting in it. This is his first intensive class in Brighton.
