Improvisation for Directors & Screenwriters:
Introductory 2-Day Course with Sean McCann

Testimonials from previous participants

 

"Great experience. Very interesting stuff. A new world I want to keep exploring."

"The workshop was fun, engaging, concise, yet exploratory and insightful."

"Very good, inclusive atmosphere. The facilitators were great at opening people up and creating the right environment to make everyone feel relaxed about contributing."

"A fabulous course, and a great example of learning by doing. I’ve been in the industry for a while now, and this course offers a refreshingly different approach to dramatic construction that I'd not encountered before. Sean got us to trust our instincts and shape the flow as it comes. He led with much passion and I’d recommend it to anyone – though with the caveat that the more you put in, the more you get out. I was lucky to be on the course with a bunch of people with a real gun ho attitude, and this brought out the best in the course I’m sure."

"I didn’t really know what to expect to be honest as I hadn’t written using Improv before. I thought it was great. It certainly inspired me. I now know what to do when I have writer’s block."

"I am a great believer in the improvisation process in order to generate story therefore I immediately felt at home with Sean who was great to work with and learn from."

"I was a bit apprehensive before meeting the groups as I wasn’t totally clear on the level of experience the other participants may have had. However, on the day this didn’t seem to matter – the range of experience was very wide, and everything was well explained."

"Pitched just perfectly to my abilities and expectations."

“Sean is the reason to do this course. His energy and passion for improvisation is infectious and inspiring to learn from."

“This is the perfect course for aspiring directors and writers. Sean’s energy and passion is breathtaking. The workshop opened my eyes to different ways of working with actors. Casting will never be the same again!”

“I’m not an actor, but experiencing improvisation as an actor/through an actor’s eyes is really useful. The course has introduced me to so many tools that I’ll be able to call upon in the future.”

“There were so many techniques here for such a short course. I’ve come away with much more confidence in using improvisation.”

“The course was fast paced and really fun. It was a great introduction to the actor’s method.”

"Well organised, packed with useful exercises. The tutor was very knowledgeable, and extremely generous in sharing his knowledge."

"It far exceeded my expectations. Terrific value for money."

"Sean provided a new approach to writing that was easy to follow, engaging and provocative. His techniques produced immediate results and I can only grow as a writer now that I have worked with him."

"The workshop was well organised and accommodated a range of abilities and experience. The delivery was excellent. Sean communicated the exercises very well. He showed great enthusiasm and ignited my interest to do more work with improvisation. The course has wetted my appetite and I look forward to taking part in more learning at LFS."
