SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s popular evening of elimination improv. Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is knocked out. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Studio 
DESCRIPTION:An interesting experiment in open-access open-ended performance by The Junction. It’s a kind of open mic for any kind of performance: you can pitch for a slot for whatever it is you want to do (anything goes\, apparently) – book here – but spontaneous performances are also welcome on the day (“we will have open floor time built in\, and try and get as many performances in as we can”). And you can also attend as an opinionated audience member; performance is not mandatory … \nRegistration is required\, either way. Presentation slots are limited and will be on a first-come first-served basis “to ensure a variety of disciplines and mediums are showcased — so the more specific you are about what you’re bringing\, the better”.

SUMMARY:Jukebox Junction
DESCRIPTION:The Junction does comedy for two consecutive (but not repeated) nights on 4 and 5 April: “Jukebox Junction is where stand-up and improv collide for a night that’s fast\, unpredictable\, and seriously fun … Sharp written comedy meets completely unscripted chaos\, with performers bouncing between polished sets and off-the-cuff scenes that come to life in the moment. No two shows are ever the same and that’s exactly the point … This isn’t just a show you watch\, it’s one you feel. Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and packed with performers ready to take big swings and bring the room with them …” That sets the bar pretty high. It’s free\, but book a seat in advance.

SUMMARY:PowerPointless Networking Night
DESCRIPTION:One of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs: the speakers have to give a presentation on a slide deck they’ve never seen before\, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion. Afterwards there’s a chance to mingle with the presenters and the Courtyard’s Corporate Team (and a chance to find out more about the Courtyard’s Corporate Academy). \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist via the website. It’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n

SUMMARY:Tim Orr: This Scene Was About
DESCRIPTION:Noted US improviser Tim Orr (founder of SF’s Improv Playhouse\, duo shows with Inbal Lori\, leading roles in Bay Area plays and improvised feature films\, performer and teacher at numerous festivals and/or as an invited guest artist) brings the improv performance technique that celebrates connection\, emotion and ensemble storytelling to Dubai. Originally created in Bogotá\, Colombia in 2017 by Italian improviser Favio Maccioni\, the format grew out of an intensive workshop exploring the ideas of emotional mirroring and reading scenes as a gift; scenes unfold in ways that are sometimes obvious and sometimes surprising\, inviting audiences into unexpected connections\, emotional depth and moments of shared discovery. \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website) – it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.
