Societies

WITS is Warwick University's fastest growing improvised theatre society. We offer students the opportunity to exercise and improve their improvisation skills, whether it be through short-form games and exercises, or long-form improvised plays. The whole mindset of improv is about saying yes - accepting and endowing. Therefore anyone, whatever experience, is welcome to come along and have some fun.

Members can expect training in a wide range of improvisation techniques, both comedic and otherwise, as well as the opportunity to perform in regular showcases. These skills don't only help members with performing but also help to build confidence generally, as well as allowing people to work as a team and become part of a fully inclusive society.

The society runs two non-auditioned and non-compulsory weekly classes, in which members will be able to work on their skills and widen their knowledge of improvisation. Any members are welcome to come along to these sessions, even if they don't want to perform, as they provide a fun and positive environment to both develop skills as an actor and/or improviser, as well as have some fun! 

We run two evening sessions a week:

Monday 6-8pm

Thursday 6-8pm

(Locations will be posted on our insta profile and whatsapp group chat on a weekly basis - we do get around!)

Whether you've never done any sort of acting before, or are a seasoned performer wanting to lean towards a more chilled out and entertaining style of performance, there really is something for everyone with us. So come along, and enter into the world of 'yes, and...'!
