WHAT IS IMPRO?
Impro is improvised theatre – performance without any script at all.
Impro is not about being clever, though - the best performers are team players who follow certain basic principles and use them on stage. Improvisation is about training the mind to express itself spontaneously, rather than training it to think quickly.
It is great preparation for acting in more traditional theatre roles as it
encourages you to explore space, voice and character, and interact with other actors in new and exciting ways.
