The home of good impro in Paris
The Impro Academy Paris has been teaching improvisation in English and in French since 2000. Mark has been teaching the final year class since 2010. This class is called the "Performance Project". The aim of the project is to provide a link between the end of the student’s improvisation training and the beginning of their performance work. The students will learn all the aspects of creating and producing a piece of improvised theatre. During the course they will create their own improvised theatre show based on their ideas and inspirations. The show is then performed numerous times at the end of the year in a Parisian theatre.
