🎵🎹ON SALE NOW 🎹🎵 Book early - normally sells out! 'IMPROVISING MUSICALLY' with Lucy Trodd & Ed Zanders Saturday, August 22nd (1-5pm) £50 ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Back by popular demand, join Lucy & Ed for a 4-hour workshop exploring improvised music and musicals. Suitable for returners and beginners. Do you dread ‘musical’ coming up as a genre in your improv show/class? We can help you embrace the tropes and enjoy the challenge. Spend a relaxed afternoon exploring the fundamentals of improvised song creation in a nurturing environment. Learn about song structure, gain some tools for generating lyrics with ease, and become more melodically free. Improv songs don’t have to be comedy- we can make some moving, connected work too! Create from connection, not tension. Learn to trust underscoring in your Improvised scenes work. ABOUT THE TEACHERS Lucy Trodd is a writer-performer and the founder of FIT. She’s also a founder member of Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical (serving 18 years so far). She’s toured the world with them and has guested at many International Improv Festivals. She’s written, composed, and performed 3 radio shows for BBC R4. Ed Zanders is a composer and improvisor. He co-wrote Mischief Theatre's first musical 'Thespians' with Jonathan Sayer and has music directed Mischief's improv show 'Mischief Movie Night' in the West End, online and on tour.

📸 Fantastic photos by @scarab from the 2026 edition of @theimprovathon at @thepleasance in London! 👾Earlier this year, members of @showstopperthemusical @the_schoolofnight @mischiefcomedy and special guests (including @belindacornish & me) spent 50 hours in the 1980s in an epic, entirely-improvised homage to Stranger Things… Dungeons & Dragons, Back to the Future, Pac Man & David Lynch all featured prominently, of course. Thanks again to producers @ali_james22 & @dylanmarkemery and all involved in this event - the ultimate improv experience 🙏 #Improv #TheImprovathon #LondonImprovathon #Improvisation #LongformImprov
