Drive it like you’ve stolen it – Jen Hardy: Workshop
About Drive it like you’ve stolen it – Jen Hardy: Workshop
Nobody else owns the improv we are creating, so why do we hold ourselves back? Why do we stop following the fun and why do we decide to go against our natural instincts?
What if, just for one workshop, we made the choice to throw caution to the wind, said ‘f##k it’ and create something which we wholeheartedly embrace.
This is for any level of improviser, the only criteria is bravery!!
Improv Experience: Open to improvisers of all levels
About Jen Hardy
Hailing from the best city on earth (Liverpool!) I’m an improviser, poet, teacher and coach as well as being a producer at a Shakespearian theatre.
I’ve performed in all-female comedy troupes and Liverpool’s first UCB style team. I perform with multiple companies including Playing Dead Theatre and Rubbish Shakespeare with whom I have toured the country in the sell-out 5 star show, The Incomplete Works of Shakespeare. I have produced several shows, including Mystery Laugh, an improvised family show and my debut solo show, Wet Skeleton.
A trained teacher, I teach and coach across the UK and internationally. This has included international festivals and teams who’ve gone on to perform at international festivals and individuals who’ve gone on to carve out professional careers.
As the co-director of the Liverpool Improvisation Festival, I’m passionate about exploring improvisation in all forms, and supporting communities to perform and learn new ways to be spontaneous.
I focus on getting folks to see their current strengths and build on them. To find their own style and lean into it – remembering that they’re infinitely more interesting than they can ever imagine, and their improv journey is spectacularly unique. There’s nothing more joyful than seeing someone find their feet, believe in themselves and stop ‘thinking’ and just start playing!
I’ve received mentoring from world famous improvisers, including Susan Messing and Katy Schutte as I believe the best faciliators should always be developing themselves as artists.
