Improv: No Script. No Pressure. Just Play.

When was the last time you spent two hours being completely silly with a room full of strangers?
Oops On PurpoSe's improv sessions are built around spontaneity, play and the radical idea that getting things wrong can actually be fun. You'll play theatre games, invent scenes and stories and learn to respond to whatever your fellow improvisers throw at you. There's no script and no acting experience required. You don't even have to think of yourself as a performer. Beginners and experienced improvisers play together, making this an unusually easy creative activity to try on your own.

And somewhere between the terrible accents, unexpected plot twists and uncontrollable laughter, those strangers might start feeling considerably less strange.

BEFORE YOU GO
Oops On PurpoSe runs beginner-friendly improv sessions and longer courses in Cape Town. Their Spontaneous Sundays have been held in Newlands as relaxed drop-in sessions, but check the current programme for dates, venue, price and booking requirements before heading out. You can attend on your own, and you don't need to prepare anything. Comfortable clothes are a good idea — improv is more physical than sitting in a theatre seat.
