Claqueur's Impro Group came about after the Tunbridge Wells Community Play 'The Vanishing Elephant' in 2009. They are now a core company of twelve who workshop regularly on Monday nights at the Rusthall Club. They also have occasional extend full day and week end workshops, some of which are public introductory sessions. The workshops are led by Jon Oram, though the group collectively run their own sessions from time to time. They perform five or six times a year. The early show were performed 'games' but in recent years they have been developing long form improvisation. Presently the group is exploring more long form improvisation. They hold regular Club Night Shows" at the Rusthall on the last Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm. Admission FREE.
In 2016 Claque Impro started European collaborations, changing their name to Claqueur, adding the 'eu' to demonstrate are support for the European Union and now our protest against Brexit. Their first colaboration was with the Restrisiko ( Weisbarde, Germany) and Teatr improwizacji Jesiotr (Breslau (Poland) at an Impro Festival in Mainz Germany. Restrisiko later came and performed with Claqueur in Tunbridge Wells. In July 2017 they will be performing with a visiting Belgium company as part of Tunbridge Wells Belgiun weekend. In September they go to perform again with Restriskio and Teatr improwizacji Jesiotr, this time in Poland.

7th October - 16th December 2019 New 10 week Impro Course for Beginners
Following the success of Legends of the Rocks several people have requested a improvisation beginners course. others have more tentatively asked if they could have a trial workshop. to see if Impro is for them. So we are offering both a Free Taster full day workshop and a ten week course. My personal belief is that Impro has value to everyone, not only for performance , indeed you you don't ever have to perform, but because it gives you important life skills including improved listening, how to develop ideas, tell stories, and work collaboratively. Not least we laugh a lot. The course will be run by Jon Oram and occasionally members of Claque Theatres performance group.
