Make A Scene

Group of people standing and laughing on stage with black curtains behind them.

Level / Experience: Intermediate

You’ve got a solid grasp on the basics. It’s time to let go of control, step into your stretch zone, and let delight lead the way. Put all your improv skills to work at once as you device skits, scripts and stories in real-time. We’ll move from games to scene so you can test your skills without scaffolds, with coaching and support to help you refine the craft. Make a Scene is designed for improvisers who have taken Rediscover Play.

Skills you’ll build…without even noticing

Through games, laughter, and a little organised chaos from improvised theatre, this course gives you practical experience in:

  • Finding more joy and energy by focusing on what’s happening right now.

  • Getting out of your head and into the room, where the real connection happens.

  • Building adaptability, flexibility, and resilience along the way.

FAQs

  • We recognise that many students want to commit to improvisation as a long-term practice. At the end of the course, your facilitator may recommend that you repeat Make a Scene; this is not uncommon if you are completing the course for the first time. Mastery takes time, and the course varies each term with different facilitators, so we encourage repetition to strengthen fundamental skills and good habits before moving forward.

    For long-term improvisers — those that are comfortable with the fundamentals of Rediscover Play and Make a Scene — our suite of advanced courses are offered term-to-term in rotation. Many of our advanced students have gone on to put on Fringe shows, deliver keynote speeches, or start their own improvisation business!

  • You’re being asked to be playful, support growth for yourself & your classmates, and respect boundaries. We also ask that you make people feel welcome, respected, and included. Improvisation is a practice founded on creative self-expression, discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated. More details on all of this is available in our Conditions of Participation.
    We also expect you attend     a minimum of six classes to perform in the showcase, though we may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

  • We strive to create a welcoming, trusting, and safe environment where marginalised folks can find joyful, creative self-expression. Historically our courses have been particularly popular with neurodivergent people, those with social anxiety, or those who speak English as a second language.

    Since our courses are delivered in a group coaching environment, we cannot provide one-on-one support. This means participants need to demonstrate a certain level of self-awareness and self-management. Anyone with a serious mental health condition, trauma, or complex inclusion needs is asked to consider whether this course is appropriate for them. Improvisation can support wellbeing, but it is not therapeutic intervention. Our facilitators are great teachers, but they are not healthcare professionals. If you’re unsure whether or not this course is for you, you’re very welcome to email us directly at inquiries@onlythehuman.com to discuss your needs.

  • Yes. We run our Make a Scene course four times a year. All of our 2026 dates are available for enrolment now!

  • All courses are offered at our ‘early bird’ rate up to approx. 72 hrs before the course begins — enrolment pricing will then revert to the full retail cost.

    Each term we offer two partial scholarships for Make a Scene to students who face marginalisation, discrimination, or financial hardship. These scholarships discount the course cost by $150 and are offered on a no questions asked basis - the discount code for this course is “HELPSCENE” to be applied at checkout.

  • Absolutely! You can purchase courses as a gift, or just enrol a friend to join you. When you enrol, just say “It’s for someone else,” and add their details. If you want it to be a surprise, please let us know when you’ve completed the enrolment.

    Attending Only human has made such a positive impact on me! It’s a safe space to learn and play. My acting skills have Improved immensely and the process has been nothing but fun! It’s a place where we can let go of seriousness and it’s a place for everyone. Jay and Michael are amazing teachers that are always supportive and caring in their guidance during the rediscover play and make a scene classes. Such a warm community and excited to continue learning here!

    Rediscover Play with Only the Human helped me to do just that - rediscover play. Michael and Amy created such a safe and encouraging environment to play in that I was able to step out of my head and just be in the moment. I can't tell you how amazing this is. If you are a perfectionist or an over thinker, I 100% recommend this course!!!

    I recently completed the "Rediscover Play" and "Make a Scene" improv courses with Only The Human Comedy Improv, and it was incredibly impactful. As a Business Analyst and Scrum Master, I was surprised by how much the lessons on trust, active listening, and support translated directly to the workplace.

    Stepping outside my comfort zone was worth it—it was a fun, empowering experience that led to significant personal growth.

    I highly recommend Only The Human improv courses to anyone looking to enhance their professional skills in a dynamic and fun environment.

    Best improv class I have ever done! Michael and Amy are great teachers. I had a lot of fun at the classes and me and my wife had something to look forward to every week. It was personal development kind of thing for me and the group of class mates was fantastic.

    I absolutely loved my experience with Only the Human Comedy Underground! From the free introductory class to the graduation performance, the course was thoughtfully designed to guide us through all the elements needed to put on a show. Many of us started with no acting or stage experience, but the supportive and fun environment created by the friendly teachers made all the difference.

    The course helped reduce social anxiety, unlock creative thinking, build teamwork skills, and develop trust in our instincts. It also fostered great friendships among the students. Whether you're interested in acting or just looking for a unique and rewarding experience, this course is an amazing opportunity. Highly recommended!

    I attended a trial improv class and it completely exceeded my expectations. Most of us, myself included, had no previous experience - but you wouldn’t have known it. The energy in the room was playful, present, and really comfortable. Chatting with the group, it was clear we all came for different reasons - some for fun, some to get better at being in front of people, some to meet new people or just to find the right improv group for them. You could easily walk away with all that and more.

    As a business owner, I couldn’t help but see the value of booking this as a team experience. It’s not just great for culture - it’s innovative and energizing.

    Big thanks to Aden and his team for creating such a welcoming space. And as a bonus, the newsletter Aden sends (not too often) is a great read - succinct and insightful. I'm usually one to unsubscribe too.

    I enrolled in improv classes to meet new people after moving to Perth and to explore the creative side of improv. I took the Intro and Self to Stage courses and definitely recommend them! The classes are amazing; the teachers are very prepared and supportive, even for the shyest folks. It's a wonderful, entertaining, and gentle way to spend quality time in a creative space with a lovely community. I highly recommend giving it a try!

    I have a background in improv and theatre and signed up for their Introduction to Improv course purely for a bit of fun and was incredibly impressed - not just by the the program material - but by the wonderful, inclusive environment cultivated by our facilitators, Aden and Amy.
    For me, it was more of a revisit of skills I had already developed, but for others it can serve as a perfect fun and low-stress introduction to the world of improvised comedy.

  • Katie Curo

    I did the Intro to Improv course (Level 1) and it was excellent. Aden, Jay and the OTH team have a really deep understanding of the art of improv, and they facilitated lots of different activities to help us to understand the key concepts. They also did a really great job of creating a playful, safe and inclusive environment - I don't think I've participated in a group activity that has ever been facilitated quite so well. Made a bunch of lovely new friends and had a hoot putting on a show at the end. If you've ever been curious about improv, but a bit too shy to have a crack, this is the place to go!
