Updates on what’s happening in the weekly improv jam sessions.
This week’s jam is run by me: Parky
I would start by saying that this week’s jam is going to be quite workshop-py for the first hour or so. If you prefer lots of games and quickfire open scenes, we’ll be doing that towards the end of the jam but I’ll be doing some specific exercises first. And, as I know some people like to know in advance, there may be some side-coaching and stopping/restarting scenes to get my ideas across. Just so you know!
The exercises will be based on two of the strongest emotions we can use in improv: hate and love. There will be lots of murdering followed by lots of loving. And then we may use both of these emotions in open scenes for the remainder of the jam.
Really important: we are not at TAO Nottingham for jams anymore. As with the last few weeks, we’re in the nice place at 39 Stoney St.

This week’s jam is run by Lloydie
Well, there’s a clue in the title here. Yes, we will be tagging the hell out of scenes. We’ll be finding games – and then beating the hell out of them. We’ll be freeze tagging, chain tagging, tagging those that tagged someone else and probably doing impressions of Taggart too (ok, maybe not the last one… well, except in Eddie’s case)

At the eleventh hour, this week’s jam is run by me: Parky (easily the fifth best performer in our Glee show last Friday).
I’ve spent my entire week being tired, broke and, frankly, quite blue. And, I have written 8,000 words about minibus insurance and 35,000 words about foreign exchange trading.
So, what I’d really like out of tonight’s jam, is for you lot to make me laugh. Not chuckles or sniggers – I want you to bring your funny A-game to tonight’s jam and really go for it. So, we’ll play daft games and do daft open scenes in which the object will be to get the maximum laughage quotient.
Oh, and I have a new tongue twister. If that’s not reason enough to pay your £2, I don’t know what is.

This week’s jam is run by me: Nick.
While a bunch of our team are off in Birmingham taking our own special brand of improv to Improv Slam! and hopefully to victory in a four way improv war, the rest of us can take advantage of the extra time and space to get some more playtime in.
We’re going to draw names out of the hat and play a combination of open scenes and some of the more traditional games we play on stage. We’ll mix up Whose Lines, Alphabet Games, Dubbing and more of our favourites. Oh, and I’ve found the most awesome / dangerous warm up game to play – so come along, we need enough people for that alone!
So come and make the most of the space!

This week’s jam: Let’s All Get EmotionalThis week’s jam is run by me: Geoff.
“Lets all get emotional jam” aims to start our games with an emotional drip, then heighten those emotions into a flood.
