SUMMARY:Improv Comedy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A second improv workshop\, billed as part of Abu Dhabi Comedy Week\, that focuses on the nuts and bolts of improvisational comedy\, short-form games\, and exercises you can take away; it’s open to all levels (min age 15) and is led by teacher/comedian Mina Liccione from Dubomedy. Looks a bit of a bargain at AED 50.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION: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 eliminated. 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 enough to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Improv Comedy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Improvisation is the art of thinking on your feet\, and while it’s an essential tool for performers who get involved with audience interaction it’s useful more generally for verbal and physical communication and team collaboration. This workshop\, billed as part of Abu Dhabi Comedy Week\, will focus on the nuts and bolts of improv comedy\, short-form games\, and exercises you can take away; it’s open to all levels (min age 15) and is led by teacher/comedian Mina Liccione from Dubomedy. Looks a bit of a bargain at AED 50. \nThere is a second session on 25 May.

SUMMARY:PowerPointless
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. \nThe presenters: Rami Boraie (reigning champion); Ahmed Al Achrafi (“the Sultan of Spontaneity and Maestro of Multilingual Motivation”); Kyle Herselman (who’s spent his entire – albeit brief – working life in theatre and improvisation); Lucy Kitson (actress\, storyteller\, comedian\, self-proclaimed expert in the fine art of pretending to have it all together); and Alana Hicks (acting teacher who aims to prove that teaching and acting aren’t so different). There’s a Special Guest Presenter too – Nicholas Ashkar\, head of the education division at Publicis Groupe. \nIt’s free\, with donations welcome; 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). \n

DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions.
