Improv Cardiff - Weekly Workshop - Every Tuesday 7:30pm @ Porter's Cardiff

7 Upvotes

Join our weekly improv workshops every Tuesday evening, 7:30pm at Porter's Cardiff.

  • Play, laugh and learn in a safe supportive environment.
  • Build your self-confidence and discover the joy of spontaneity.
  • Make new friends!
  • No experience necessary.
  • £10 Waged / £5 Unwaged.

Each week we will play a wide variety of games and fun exercises, covering all aspects of improv and stagecraft. You don’t need any prior experience, but if you are a seasoned improviser you are welcome too!

You're not expected to be 'good' or 'funny' – we're all learners here, and I promise it won’t be as scary as you think!

What is Improv?

  • Improv (an abbreviation of Improvisation) means making stuff up, live on stage!
  • The core principle is "Yes, and..." where we accept whatever is suggested to us and build upon it in a playful and constructive manner.
  • Improv encompasses storytelling, acting, play, spontaneity, and creativity.
  • Improv is usually performed by teams, with players jumping in and out of roles as required.
  • Improv is fun and is often very funny (though it doesn't have to be!)
  • No script means no lines to learn!

Why do Improv?

  • Meet a friendly, diverse group of like-minded individuals.
  • Boost your confidence and creativity.
  • Improve your communication skills.
  • Have fun playing in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, then get in touch: [hello@improvCardiff.co.uk](mailto:hello@improvCardiff.co.uk)

South wales produce swap

8 Upvotes

hi everyone,

I recently started a small community group whereby people who grow produce (and those who don’t) can buy, sell, trade or just discuss homegrown produce. it’s really picking up and thought it was worth mentioning here.

On facebook we‘re Food Trade SW and you can find the link there or just drop me a message!

Anyone looking for a house swap to Scottish Highlands?

23 Upvotes

I have a large 3 bedroom house in Thurso with Cairn Housing Association. Thurso is a lovely seaside town on the North coast of Scotland. If you want a quiet safe community by the sea this would be perfect. The nearest city is Inverness which is a 2 and a half hour drive so a move here would be a big lifestyle change for most. Thurso does have supermarkets, a quiet high street with mostly gift shops, schools, GP, pharmacy etc. All of these and a lovely beach are within walking distance. The house has -
▪️2 double bedrooms
▪️1 single bedroom
▪️large living room/dining room
▪️large newly fitted kitchen
▪️utility room
▪️2 bathrooms (1 is a wet room)
▪️partially floored attic
▪️very large fenced in garden

As I am planning to move, the house could do with a fresh paint and new carpets.

I am looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom house (no flats) to be closer to my daughter. I am not looking for a busy scheme but somewhere quiet within roughly a half hour drive to a city.

Casual wedding South Wales

3 Upvotes

My fiancé and I are hoping to get married in 2027.
We don’t want a huge/expensive wedding and will likely just have a small family registry office ceremony and then hoping to invite around 50 guests to a wedding reception.

Any recommendations for restaurants/bars where we could have some good food, drinks and music in the South Wales are? We live in Monmouthshire and would like to stay fairly close.

TIA!

Urgent Cardiff request: need 5 donation buckets/buckets with lids before 10am tomorrow

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, sorry for the last-minute ask. I’m trying to get hold of 5 donation buckets or plastic tubs with lids for a small community fundraiser happening tomorrow morning.

Colour and size don’t matter at all. They can be takeaway tubs, paint buckets, bakery tubs, or anything similar, as long as they have lids and ideally a coin slot/opening suitable for donations.

I can collect them anywhere around Cardiff tonight or very early tomorrow morning before 10am and return them straight after if needed.

Even if you only have 1 or 2, that would still help massively. Please DM me if you can help. Thank you

Fancy slow dance bars in wales?

5 Upvotes

It’s my birthday next month and I’d love to go away with my girlfriend to a place to have a slow dance and a few drinks as something romantic. Something nice as a change from normal pubs etc. Price isn’t major but nothing extortionate as I’m only an apprentice 🤣. I live just outside Llanelli so there’s not many options here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

Hi everyone, i am looking for someone who worked at a particular hotel. The name of the hotel/bar was caswell bay hotel, it has now been knocked down and turned into apartments. I am looking for a man who worked there in the 80's behind the bar and giving people lifts home who worked there. Thanks very much i know im searching for a needle in a haystack but its worth the ask.

'Must see' places?

31 Upvotes

Hiya all, a bit of context to what I'm asking. Last October I lost my partner and he wanted to travel so now I take ashes on adventures with me and take photos of his urn for his fb page. I also promised myself that every month I would get out and actually do something (bonus points if it was social too). Well I've pretty much done everything local to me or at least feel like I have... this leads me to my question, what you say are Wales 'must see' places, things I just HAVE to experience at least once. I'm in South Wales but I am willing to travel

Thank you everyone 😊
