Feedback

Thomas

Thanks for such an awesome class. You provided a lovely atmosphere of positivity and fun, and you gave useful and practical feedback to me. Not to mention - you took all the notes to then sent it to us… first class service! Thank you so much, hope you do one of those again some time in 2024! - Thomas

Awesome course. Fun + learning in a supportive environment. Awesome to have notes on your improv from two very perceptive and experienced teachers.

Kitty

It was a nice group that was keen to learn from.and with eachother. Feedback was well balanced and specific for every individual, but all tips could be used for others too. Loved the specific instructions to train different skills, and seeing the difference it made in a scene if you changed one element.

Is that workshop right for you?

When deciding if a workshop is the right match for your experience, check the Levels under 'Classifications' on the workshop registration page. We use the following general level delineations:
  • Beginner: <1 year, has learned the basics, limited performance experience
  • Intermediate: 2-4 years, strong foundation, general performance experience
  • Experienced: 4+ years, extensive performance experience, director/teacher
  • General: All experiences welcome
  • Teacher: Specifically aimed at teachers, whether for drama, improvisation, or other performance

The categories are a guideline only; we recognise that no two improvisors’ journeys are the same. We ask that participants be honest and practical with their self-evaluation, and to get in touch if you have any questions.

Cancellation

  • If you cancel at least one week before the course, you will receive a full refund. 
  • If you cancel after one week before the course, and before the cutoff, you will receive a refund less a $25 admin fee, or a full transfer of the credit to another course.
  • If you cancel after the cutoff, there will be no refund - however we are happy to discuss transferring your registration to another course or storing it as credit.  
For an 8 week course, the cutoff is the second session. For all other courses, the cutoff is the first session. 
Workshops that are cancelled by Locomotive for any reason will be refunded in full to all participants.
