Presence. Courage.
Imagination.

To me, that’s good improvisation in a nutshell.

Add physical clarity, and it also becomes beautiful to watch.

Hello, I’m Caspar Schjelbred.

I’ve worked with improvisational theatre in Paris and internationally for over 20 years, specialising in physical acting, clowning and mime.

I created my own teaching brand, Impro Supreme, in 2010 as an alternative to run-of-the-mill improv classes.

Impro Supreme empowers actors to improvise deeply and beautifully by integrating body, mind, and imagination in a grounded and authentic way.

With me, you’ll learn to be present to yourself first.

Then to your partner.

Whereas in regular improv training, you learn to focus on the group. A surefire recipe for most improvisers to get stuck in superficial banter – no matter how good their storytelling is.

Let’s face it, improv comedy is the fast food of theatre.

It’s quickly whipped together and gulped down. Quickly indulged in and forgotten. It doesn’t take much to heat up a few old exercises and give everyone a good time for a few hours.

It’s essentially empty calories.

Good improv theatre is complete human communication.

As nurturing as whole grain and organic foods are to the organism.

It’s the perfect training for any performance stage – and all stages of life.

And, more often than not, it’s even easy and fun.

The problem is when you aim immediately for that. You miss the subtleties and the technical finesse. You miss the deep personal challenge.

Communication is both WHAT you say and HOW you say it – including how it is received. For most of us, it’s what makes life interesting.

Live and let live. Play and let go.

Accept that you’re merely a player.

You cannot escape the theatre of it all.

Not even in the corporate world.

So, wherever you’re at, whether for a paying, a business or a casual audience…

If you are curious about supreme improvisation and want to take your game to the next level, I’m your man.
