Every class has been an uproariously good time as we all play improv games together, in the process letting ourselves go to let loose and laugh and ultimately find our way through harder times. My favourite lesson has been the exercise in saying YES! when we want to say NO! because we think we have control or want to hold onto a particular idea for our scenes but improv doesn't work that way...and neither does life! What a fantastic class this has been and I'm going to miss it so much when it's done.

As one of the participants Diana Hurwitz put it, ‘Every class has been an uproariously good time as we all play improv games together, letting loose and laughing.’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB">Another participant Kaelan Le Page said, ‘Over the last couple of months, I have well and truly improvised my joy back. I cannot wait to showcase our newly found skills to an auidience next week! It’s a real buzz knowing the laughter we’ve had over previous weeks will now be shared outside of the classroom.’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB">To round off the end of such a successful course, twelve of the graduates of the course will be joined on stage by Improv veterans Sarah Hansmann and Oliver Bailey-Davies in a showcase performance. The two professional performers will be leading teams of improvisers in a series of ‘competitive’ theatre games, creating scenes using suggestions from the audience. Joined, too, by local award-winning composer Lydia Jane Pugh, who will be creating a soundtrack to the evenings sketches as they happen and adding her musical flare to the made-up mayhem.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB">Sarah, who has been running the course, had this to say about the upcoming showcase, ‘There’s always so much positivity that comes out of these courses, but the next step really is to perform it for an audience. For the performers, they’ve been immersed in this joyful experience and performing it with direct feedback from an audience is truly special. For the audience, it’s different to any other theatre because they have control as it is based on their suggestions. You could see a Game of Thrones type drama, set in a bank with a retired ormer farmer, the possibilities are endless. At the end of the evening they have had a unique experience which will never be repeated’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB">The showcase takes place at the Princess royal Centre for the Performing Arts <span dir="ltr">on Thursday the 23</span><sup><span dir="ltr">rd</span></sup><span dir="ltr"> of March, 7:30pm</span>.

<br />
Performing our own improv format called 'Fluff or Forfeit' which involves the same audience suggestions played out but with the twist that the audience decides at the end if the actors played to the rules and if not the director has to perform a forfeit.<br />
<br />
After 2 years of ridiculously low price of £6, we've bowed to economic pressures and brought ticket prices up to £8. Our funny five offer is now £35 for 5 tickets and Student/conc tickets £6.<br />
Block booking are always welcome (we can think of nothing more fun than sharing the laughter with your friends) so if you have something in mind contact us direct improbablesguernsey@gmail.com<br />

Ideas are an ocean to splash about in.' - Keith JohnstoneThe new course has started and again I'm thrilled at the new improv explorers who have chosen to try something new.<br />
<br />
It's a pleasure to introduce players to the endless enjoyment of improv. What's always interesting is hearing people's reasons for joining the course.<br />
'I saw it and thought, that is something different, I'll give it a try.'<br />
'I was scared, but I knew I needed to do something for me'<br />
'I spend so much of my time being careful of what I say and measuring everything that comes out of my mouth, so when I saw this I thought it would be good to challenge myself to get out of that space'<br />
<br />
Whatever their reasons, they are all taking that leap together and splashing about in the ocean of impro fun.<br />

The professional team had it's first show on 26th of March last year! And what a year it's been...<br />
<br />
We created our own shows at various venues and Festivals, including The Guernsey Literary Festival, The Sure Festival of Comedy, Chaos Festival and Specsavers Search for a Star. We even created our own Full length Improvised Musical in December. View it in full <a href="https://youtu.be/F0cMmY_vcac" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
We're trying out a new venue on Thursday the 30th of April The E&G (The English and Guernsey Arms) Tickets <a href="https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/158355" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
And after last years success, we're part of the Sure Festival of Comedy again on Tuesday the 2nd of June. Book <a href="https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/happyci" target="_blank">here</a><br />

The name and the question mark logo were born. (Logo designed by then Improbable Gordon Craig)<br />
<br />
Sarah has always felt that improvisers are super heros without a clue so the name was fitting.<br />
They performed their own shows at the Pleasance Cabaret bar and at the Edinburgh Festival described as 'Hysterical' - Three Weeks<br />
<br />
After moving to Guernsey Sarah and Stephen improvised some babies and Super Hero improving took a back seat.<br />
<br />
Fast Forward to 2012 when the first course was run in Guernsey. With just eight brave trainees rocking up for the course, not having a clue what to expect, they were instantly hooked!<br />
<br />
They performed the first show on the 26th of November 2012 at the Cobo Bay Hotel to a packed out audience. Those first 'Improbables - Guernsey' were Rachel, Alison, Tim, Beaky, Sarah P, Tristan, Micheal and Stephen.<br />
2013 saw patches of shorter courses but in January 2014 a full sold out course started. In March 2014 after several successful graduation performances, the professional Team was launched<br />
Oliver Davies, Dave Hyett, Cailin Sullivan, Stephen Rouxel, Sarah Hansmann and Lydia Pugh.<br />
They have been in demand ever since, performing at The Guernsey Literary festival, The Sure Festival of Comedy, Chaos Music Festival, Specsavers Search for a Star, Shows at the Wicked Wolf and now their new home the Fermain Tavern.<br />
<br />
A new course started on September and a fresh crop of Improbabobs got to strut their new found YES, and skills infront of their family and friends.<br />
<br />
And before the year is up Guernsey Improbables will be launching the first ever 'IMPROBABELTERS! - IMPROVISED COMEDY MUSICAL'<br />

<br />
An audience filled with people from the courses over the two years and a few Improv Virgins too!<br />
<br />
Stephen Rouxel took the lead and was master of ceremonies for the evening and the two teams competing included the regular pro team and the best Improbabobs from our community players.<br />
<br />
Oliver, Tim and Harry played against Sarah, Dave and Beaky with some stiff competition and the introduction of a few new games, like 'Backwards/Forwards' at the Highland games in the style of film Noir.<br />

<br />
Our new format <b>Fluff or Forfeit</b> which involves five of our most experienced improvisers directing their own scenes. The audience decides whether they get Fluff or a forfeit (which could include making them do anything, like replay the scene in interpretive dance) Wednesday 17th of December!<br />
<br />
Then for the first time in Guernsey we bring you <b>ImprobaBELTERS! the improvised musical</b>. Sunday 21st of December!<br />

We have a new venue, a new beginners course starting, Specsavers Search for a Star Final and some preparations for a one day Master Class to impart some of the wealth of technique from the week with Keith Johnstone in London.<br />
<br />
Tuesday night's inaugural performance at the Fermain Tavern was a great success! The venue has the feeling of a perfect comedy club and with it being a great music venue the acoustics are an added bonus. We look forward to more regular performances there.<br />

On Wednesday, after spilling water all over the BBC Radio Studio and Jon Ozanne, I managed to talk about my amazing week with Keith in London and the new beginners Course starting on the 24th of September. (More Info on Course <a href="http://www.improguernsey.com/p/blog-page.html" target="_blank">Here</a> ) (Listen to the full interview <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p025l5qd" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
<br />
We're looking forward to the Final of Specsavers Search for a Star on September 20th which promises to be a wild night show casing eight of Guernsey's best entertainment acts.<br />

More info soon about the Master class and more shows at the Fermain Tavern.ImproSarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399223893122268972noreply@blogger.com0
