Improv in English
Weekly improv classes and specialised one-off workshops.
Whether it’s for stage purposes or your personal pleasure – anyone who wants to become a better improviser is welcome at the Impro Academy.
A Parisian improv institution
Impro Academy is the international improv theatre school in Paris. It was established in 1999 and lead to the creation of Paris’s first ever anglophone impro theatre company The Improfessionals (2001).
What do we offer ?
Improvisational theatre is more or less what it sounds like : drama and comedy created on the spur of the moment. It’s a highly personal and challenging art form ; the skills used in improv — or impro — are an essential asset to anyone, actor or non-actor.
Come practise and develop the basics of improvisational theatre with us !
We’ll build a solid foundation by exercising and developing the core improvisation skills :
- Spontaneity — Acting on impulse
- Listening — Paying attention to your partner
- Accepting — Yes !
- Creativity — Using your imagination
- Energy — 3–2‑1-GO !
And then use these skills to create theatre — drama and comedy.
We’ll practise :
- Collaborative storytelling — Improvising stories together
- Initiating scenes — How do you start ?
- Scene development — What comes next ?
- Physical acting — How to be playful with my body ?
“Ceci n’est pas un cours de langue”
Please note that our classes in English are designed to improve your improvisational theatre skills – NOT your language skills. It’s not a problem if English is not your mother tongue. But you need to speak English fluently.
