“Improv involves fearlessly jumping into scenes and quickly immersing oneself in different characters and perspectives. This workshop offers techniques to help players at all levels develop these skills. Whether new to improv or a seasoned performer, you’ll find valuable insights in this workshop.”
Chris Shurland, the founder of Irreverent Improv, is a Chicago-trained improv teacher and performer currently based in Southern California.
Before teaching improv nationally and internationally, Chris had the good fortune to be trained by some of the nation’s best improv teachers when he completed the training programs at Second City, iO (formerly ImprovOlympic), and Annoyance Theaters and attended numerous workshops and classes across the U.S. and Canada in improv, clowning, and physical comedy. He has since performed with several independent and house teams in Chicago and California.
He also serves as the Associate Artistic Director for American Improv Theatre in San Jose, CA, where he teaches long-form improv and coaches teams, as well as one of the producers of the San Jose Improv Festival. Chris can currently be found developing the improv program for Oceanside Theatre Company. He also performs regularly at Finest City Improv in San Diego with house team Bankers Kill, at theaters and festivals with the Chicago-based duo Legends of Public Access and the Bay Area-based duo A Couple of Tools.
This workshop is open to the FIRST 18 STUDENTS.
