It’s an uncharacteristically busy July for us here at SPAT. Our improv comedy workshops Improv Your Mind kick off on Tuesday, 18 July, with facilitator Nurina Simpson excited to get started with the basic principles. The five weekly workshops will focus on learning through playing different ‘improv games’ to build confidence and cooperation.
Nurina says: “The skills you will learn, such as teamwork, collaboration, listening, communication, and the ability to adapt and problem-solve, can all be adapted to your social and professional life. Improv relies on building an atmosphere where performers can support each other, no matter which ridiculous direction the scene goes!”
Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a comedian, or if you feel like taking a step outside your comfort zone, everyone (aged 18+) is welcome to come along and give it a go at the Stanwell Park CWA Hall, on Tuesdays from 18 July to 14 August, 6.30-8.30pm. Open to people of all abilities, the cost for a block of five classes is $100 per person. Snacks provided!
Tickets are now on sale for our 40th Anniversary Singers show, Forty and Still Going Strong. Featuring some of our favourites from the past 40 years, as well as musicians including pianist Lisa Baraldi, this will be a night to remember (and sing along!). Guests will be treated to a three-course sit-down dinner, dress code is formal and there will be prizes for best dressed on the night. It starts at 6.30pm on Friday, July 28 and Saturday 29th; Friday, August 4 & Saturday 5th. Tickets are $40.
Our Film Society was thrilled to secure the great Danny Kaye comedy from 1955, The Court Jester, which screened at the hall on June 24.
