After years of teaching improv, we said "no" to levels in our improv classes.
After all, improvisation isn't a linear process, so why should we teach it linearly? Moreover, improv levels say nothing about an individual's capacity to work with others. People can learn a lot from each other, regardless of their history with improv. What you require to take our classes is not improv experience, but courage, consideration, and curiosity.
With that in mind, we've replaced levels with the following three approaches, open to everyone from beginners to experienced improvisers:
You will find aspects of all these approaches in everything we do, but each improv learning event will emphasise one of them.
Your improv teacher, Remy Bertrand, is in the small club of improvisation facilitators with more than 10,000 hours of teaching experience. Currently based in London, UK, Remy has been teaching and training people in improvisation internationally since 2006 with Imprology, as well as in drama schools, universities, charities, and other institutions. He has directed several large-scale improvised performances with Zootrophic, a multi-discipline ensemble. Remy also has co-directed improvised short films with Peter Snowdon and is hosting Love Explosion, an improvised open-stage show.
Remy has trained most recently with John Write (Impro, Clown) Kate Hilder and Sten Rudstrom (Action Theatre) Mary Overlie (Six Viewpoints), Lee Simpson (Open Space, Impro), Lucy Hopkins (Clown) and Punch Drunk (Immersive Theatre).
Remy has learned most from his students and teaches improvisation as a transformational process focusing on pleasure, curiosity and courage.
'Attending this workshop was truly transformative. It ignited a fire within me to break through the barriers that have been hindering my growth and embrace a more authentic version of myself. Remy's unwavering encouragement, genuine honesty, and profound insights created a nurturing and empowering space where I could fully embrace my true self. Beyond just an improv workshop, it was a journey towards conquering our fears and limitations, and unlocking our fullest potential.' Sarah Kent artist, critic, performer, former visual arts editor art of London's Time Out
