the art of improvisation
actors - improvisation skills have emerged as one of the key components of an
actor's tool belt. improv study - particularly that of long-form improv,
as we do - is a significant credential on an actor's resume. it belongs on
yours. free yourself from the gimmicks & tricks of parlor games & learn what
has made stars out of the cast of 'snl', 'mad tv', 'the simpsons', 'curb your
enthusiasm' & 'this is spinal tap' famous.
producers & casting directors - know that improv experience brings focus &
openness to events in the scene that makes direction easy. actors with
quality improv experience find that they are more relaxed & more confident
in auditions, on the set & on stage because they have developed the ability
to create full-blown scenes & to entertain an audience, with nothing
prepared in advance.
our training approach focuses on -
* strong characters
* relationships
* clear objectives
* vivid environments
* sustaining attention
while the gags of other improv companies may
produce laughs, our approach creates theater that is more
memorable, entertaining & often hilariously funny. if we fail, we learn to
fail with grace and good nature. these are not just helpful acting skills;
they are important life skills!
paul bellos, (CMT, Crazy 8’s Showcase, American Express, Borders Books,
Chick-Fil-A, Logan’s Roadhouse, Nashville Star, Honorable Mention Best Actor
2005 - 48 Hour Film Festival) teaches every class & gives personal attention
to each performer, helping to build strengths & overcome weaknesses. while
the training isn’t focused on the quick fix - it is worth while.
'so, one thing that should be clear to you, as an improv presenter, is that
the humorous element is not the goal of improv, anymore than getting
applause is the goal of a basketball team. A basketball team is trying to
get as many balls through the hoop as possible while minimizing the same
sort of success for their opponents. The entertainment value is a by product
of that goal.' - Paul Stokstad
Ideaprov training is not the low price leader – quality education never is. paul has promoted handfuls of actors to
los angeles, chicago & new york in the last twelve months. We invite you
to learn what it really takes to make it in show biz.
