In late 2009, I decided I needed to recharge my Impro batteries, and find a group to perform with. Because, I thought, it’s all very well to swan into people’s workplaces and evangelise about improvisation as a way to improve your work, health, social life and general happiness – but it’s another to regularly put yourself on the line and practice the art in public.
To my shock, I discovered that my adopted home city of Birmingham, second city in the UK, simply did not have a regular Impro group running. In the true spirit of “Yes! and” I decided then and there I would need to set up my own. Box Off Frogs was born, and has been running weekly since January 12th 2010. There are around 40 people on the attendance list, and around a dozen turn up on any Frogs night to play. It looks like we might be performing at our first public gig in a the next few weeks. Watch this space for news!
