Moonshine Improv Jam: October - Blood

Welcome to the Moonshine Improv Jams! Named so, because the moonlight invokes special places within us, and moonshine was an illicit drink made at midnight, a source of fun and basically another word for nonsense!

The Moonshine Jams are monthly improv jams in Brighton, each one shaped by the Celtic full moon of the month.

Hello Moonshinerz!

October is the Blood Moon: the hunt, boldness, shedding.

"Be brave tonight. Make the bold offer, take the leap, and we will leap with you."

Details:

• When: Sunday 25 October, 6pm to 8.30/9pm (stay and chat if you want!)
• Where: The Pepper Room (upstairs), The Islingword, 175 Queen's Park Road, Brighton BN2 9ZA
• Access: The Pepper Room is upstairs in a Victorian building. (Sorry, no step-free access, currently.)
• Tickets: choose the ticket that works for you: standard, free concession, or supporter (a little extra to help keep the nights going).
• Can't make it? Please cancel so someone else can have your place. After more than two no-shows without payment, we're unable to take further bookings from you.

The theme is: bold choices and risk
We'll warm up, play some short games, and build scenes where the skill is taking the leap: making the bold offer instead of the safe one, and trusting the room to catch you.

The Blood Moon cheer
Every moon has its own cheer. When someone makes a bold choice and the scene lifts because of it, the whole room shouts: "Draculaaaaa!" Please shout it. Loudly.

Is it for you?
If you've done a course or two (improv, acting, drag, character, clown, anything else we've forgotten), you're in! We're neurodivergent and queer-led, so you're embraced (psychologically, unless you enthusiastically consent to a big hug). If you want a space to be silly, ridiculous and just be yourself, yes please.

How we play

• Belong here. And mean it. No hierarchy, no judgement.
• Say yes to the mess. Failing is part of it, not a risk.
• Leave better than you arrived. New scene partners, something learned, every time.

Come beforehand and join us for a chat and a pint and some nice crisps if you fancy, or stay afterwards for more chat and another pint :) (no judgement if it's cider or squash, we want to see your faces, and hear your voices!)

You belong here. See you there my pretties,
Emms
