Rediscover play
-
Step out of your comfort zone and into ours. Our classes focus on creating a laughter-filled space where everyone can enjoy improv and feel safe.
-
We value safety, opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We create a safe space where people can explore comedy without fear of discrimination or marginalisation. Women, people of colour, non-binary, disabled and other folk are highly encouraged to take our classes. Learn more about our approach to diversity & inclusion.
-
Our lessons are as useful on the stage as they are in the boardoom. We teach skills such as trust, vulnerability, active listening and radical support - skills useful in laughter and in life.
-
Improvisation demands trust and closeness, so we work to create a community cohort with our term-based classes. Introductory classes culminate in a live performance with your newly-formed troupe.
-
We support you after graduation. Once you’ve graduated from your introductory course, we provide opportunities to stay engaged through more advanced courses, specialist workshops, community events, and co-operative membership.
-
We’re accredited with the WA Social Enterprise Council. This provides us a unique way of working that blends the needs of profit and purpose. Ultimately, a portion of our time and effort goes towards our goal of building a thriving improv scene in Perth.
