workshops
Locomotive offers improvised theatre training through one-off workshops, term based training, and weekend long intensives. Watch this space for upcoming opportunities!
What is it?
Workshops! Sometimes a one-off special topic or guest teachers, sometimes a weekly workshop series, and sometimes a weekend intensive. We try to provide a range so there's something for everyone's availability. We also try to match the content to the most appropriate delivery - some things work best in short bursts and others need the time to develop.
Is it for me?
If you want to become an improvisor, or are one already and want to get better, or want to expand your repertoire and toolsets - then yes! Check our workshop announcements for the recommended experience level and skillset, and if you're still not sure if a workshop is suitable, just ask.
What does it cost?
As an example: a full registration for an eight-week course is $220. However, for all our workshops there is a special Earlybird registration fee open to anyone who signs up on time, and we also offer concession prices, scholarship opportunities, and payment plans.
coaching
Working on a show and need an outside eye? Facing a plateau in your improv development? Or perhaps your improv group would like a guest teacher for a workshop or two. We have extensive experience, flexible approaches, and four unique perspectives that can lift your work and focus your improv.
What is it?
We are available to coach individuals, ensembles and companies in performance, teaching, directing, production and general improv skills. This could take the shape of workshops, one-on-one coaching, mentorship across a project or a set time frame, or something else we haven't thought of.
Is it for me?
We're here for beginners, seasoned pros, directors, producers - anyone working in improv who needs support and guidance on their path. It helps if you have a specific goal or project and a timeframe in which to achieve it (or at least start your path towards it). Check out our About Us section to read more about our team and our values to help you decide if we're a good fit for you.
What does it cost?
We have a sliding scale depending on time commitment, project ambitions, and your budget. We also have a strong desire to support underrepresented improvisors and will gladly discuss sponsorship arrangements. Get in touch with your needs and budget, and we'll find a solution that works for us both.
