Improv for Actors

Specialties

Improv classes for actors who are interested in creating theatrical productions on the fly by learning how to be their own director, writer, and acting coach.

Plus, improv can be such a great way to explore not just the roles you could get cast in at a normal theater productions, but it gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself in roles outside of your normal «type». We try and make our classes more than simply improv classes, but actually full fledged acting class, because the two are one in the same. In any given story you could be called on to play roles that you’re naturally good at playing or roles you might not be. Learning and practicing standard improv theater games is important when training as an improvisor, but exploring the acting skills necessary to play every role in a story is how the Un-​Scripted Theater Company likes to take our stage performance to the next level. We’re hoping you’ll find this kind of rehearsal and training is useful for you too.

Why do great acting teachers come to the conclusions that they do? Why is the art form of improv the way it is? What makes actors perform the way they perform on stage? Why does the human brain work the way it does? By bringing this kind of exploration of acting to his teaching, Christian hopes not just to teach students how to improvise, but rather to help actors become professional improvisors that can get cast in any improv theater company that they choose, and perform side by side with other great actors to help push the art form of improvisation to the next level.

«Some of the best improvised theater in San Francisco. Most of my improv theory is based on work at the Un-​Scripted Theater Company.»
