How the work is structured

An embodied approach to improvisation

Impro Supreme is the synthesis of twenty years of practice, research and teaching.

Based on physical acting, improvisation, clown and perceptual training, the method reconnects the imagination and the body.

Its aim is simple: to train a way of working that is clear, grounded and fully alive. And from that place, meaning takes shape moment by moment.

A clear and coherent system

Impro Supreme is built around four ways of working.

Together, they shape how the work unfolds — in training, in rehearsal, on stage.


1. The body is the source

Everything begins physically.

Movement is the starting point for clarity, presence and expression.

Without the body, improvisation quickly turns into a game of ideas without weight.

2. Attention is the practice

What you notice determines what you create.

Attention is what allows you to see what is there.

Improvisation depends on seeing and understanding what is actually happening.

3. Interpretation is physical

The imagination gives direction, but meaning appears through action.

Interpretation must be acted, embodied and clear — otherwise it does not exist on stage.

4. Choice is the craft

Improvisation is the art of choosing, moment by moment.

Technique gives you real options; clarity allows you to choose and commit.

Your decisions are what shape the work and make it visible.

Together, these four ways of working form a simple progression:

physical → attentive → interpretive → decisive.


The same work unfolds across different contexts — on stage and beyond:


The method in practice

Impro Supreme works through a set of physical–imaginative disciplines shaped over two decades of teaching and performing.

The training brings together four complementary sources:

  • the clarity of physical acting
  • the freedom of clowning
  • the intelligence of improvisation
  • the perceptual sensitivity of dance and mime

The aim is not virtuosity but clarity:

a body that supports the imagination,
an imagination connected to physical reality,
and a presence that remains readable moment to moment.

What this method develops in you

Through sustained practice, Impro Supreme helps you develop:

  • physical clarity and expressive presence
  • an imagination grounded in sensation and emotion
  • sharper perception and moment-to-moment awareness
  • the courage to choose and the sensitivity to adjust your choices
  • creative freedom grounded in technique, not guesswork
  • a coherent relationship between feeling, action and meaning

This is the individual foundation of improvisation — and it has to be trained deliberately.

Why I teach this

A personal note

I teach this work because I love it.

It creates meaning in the simplest and most direct way. Right where we are.

Theatre begins before performance: in how we move, what we notice and the courage it takes to respond with honesty.

Training the body sharpens the imagination; training perception deepens our expression; clear choices create a form of freedom that is simple, grounded and alive.
