M﻿aggie's pioneering workshops aim to raise confidence levels, generate humour; improve performance skills and become better improvisers.Maggie’s classes teach people to take risks and connect with others through playful activities. She asks that you remain open to experience the absurd and the ridiculous, embrace chaos and silence – and engage with your own physicality and self-awareness.This is a brilliant opportunity for people to up-skill and engage positively with self-awareness, their own physicality and lived experiences. The best thing about the workshops is that they are suitable for anybody: Actors, teachers, bankers, the butcher the baker, the candlestick maker - and it's a lot of fun.Who are they for?Absolutely anyone who would like to give stand up comedy a go, or for those wanting to write/update material and improve their set; anyone who wants to bring more humour into their lives - professionally or personally or both!What can you expect?Group and individual activities that encourage openness and playfulness.Learning how comedians create comedy.Discovering your personal and preferred style of comedy.A build in professional humour-making skills.I love these classes!!
