laughter and music
We respectfully suggest you grab your diary and make a note of two exciting events this summer at Les Soeurs Anglaises' celebrated venue... .......
For those of you who have attended a previous event at Les Soeurs Anglaises' venue (or have heard about it), you'll definitely want to know about a weekend coming up this summer about which we are particularly excited. Collaborating with some of the most exceptional and enthusiastic teachers means that the Improvisational Comedy (17th - 21st May) is going to be simultaneously full-on and laid-back, we guarantee.
LAUGHTER is a powerful antidote to anxiety, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laug. It lightens burdens, inspire hopes, connect you to others, and keep you grounded, focused, and alert - particularly important as we get older. It is also a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. If you're still not convinced of the benefits of laughter we've made a fuller (medically proven!) list below.

Improvisational Comedy Weekend
with long established and highly acclaimed comedy company, InstantWit (and led by Second CurveDirector, Chris Grimes) who have been performing their show nationally & internationally for over 20 years. The workshops they have created are carefully structured to meet participants' individual needs. They are highly creative, always surprising, and without doubt involve a great deal of laughter, and this three day workshop will include the opportunity on Saturday evening to sit back, alongside members of the public, relax and enjoy a full performance of Instantwit.

THE BENEFITS OF LAUGHTER
Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45minutes after.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter burns calories. OK, so it’s no replacement for going to the gym, but one study found that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn about 40 calories—which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year.
Laughter may even help you to live longer. A study in Norway found that people with a strong sense of humor outlived those who don't laugh as much. The difference was particularly notable for those battling cancer.
