With Paula

Great improvisation is born from authentic human behaviour. In this workshop, we’ll explore how emotional truth can transform our scenes. Instead of searching for what is clever or funny, we’ll learn to trust our instincts, embrace our emotions, and allow genuine human connections to shape our stories. Together, we’ll discover how to recognise and use our own emotions as creative tools. Joy, fear, tenderness, frustration, love, grief… every emotion has the power to inspire richer characters, stronger relationships, and stories that truly resonate with an audience. Paradoxically, when we stop trying to be funny and start being honest, comedy often appears naturally. Through practical exercises and scene work, we’ll develop emotional availability, deepen our listening, and learn to stay connected to ourselves and our scene partners. The result is improvisation that feels alive, surprising, and deeply human. Because the greatest gift we can offer an audience isn’t the perfect joke—it’s the truth of the moment.
