How was your improv workshop?

“The skills I learned from those two weekends, which were two of the most enjoyable weekends I’ve ever had, have been an invaluable tool I use to this day in my daily life, both at work and in personal interactions.”
Andy, Brussels
“Very inspiring and useful workshop. Picked me up from where I’m at and helped me develop strategies to improve developing scenes and my performance skills.”
Anonymous, Switzerland
“Ryan is an incredible teacher. He took a straggling group of beginners and turned us into a viable company of improvisational actors who regularly perform together – in front of actual, paying, repeat customers.”
Carrie, Brussels
I’ve benefitted immensely from this journey which I would recommend to anyone looking to learn more about themselves in a fun, immersive way.”
Simon, Amsterdam
“Ryan is the most enthusiastic, positive workshop leader I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I’ve been to several of his workshops and after each session I came away with a sense of achievement and feeling that I had learnt something new.”
Chris, London
“Your Taking It Easy session helped me relax more into the truth of a scene and let it grow more organically instead of pushing too hard to make it funny or dramatic. I loved that you were really clear about what you wanted us to get and how the exercises played into the scene work we did later. I really got a lot from one short session.”/fusion_testimonial]
Pedro, Lisbon
“Ryan really made the most out of the workshop. No time-wasting. He gets to the point quickly, in a clear and effective way”
Andrew, Brighton
“Absolutely brilliant! Exceptional work!”
Anonymous, Impro Hotel
“Plenty of energy, enthusiasm, good clear guidance on how to make the scene ‘deliver results’ without killing the improviser… Ryan’s enthusiasm for improv is infectious.” [/testimonial]
Elsa, Lisbon
“I loved loved loved your workshop. I liked the way it was structured and meaningful. Time flew unnoticed. I liked the shortness of the exercises, the surprise and fun, and the fact that you gave me so much to explore. I now can be in an empty prison cell or in a desert island and never feel alone or bored any more. Now I can expand my world.”
James, Brighton
“Ryan seemed to know just what to do to get the best from everyone. I would jump at the opportunity to do another workshop led by him.”
Calum, Brighton
“Ryan is a great teacher, very serious (and very funny!) gives great coaching during scenes! I had a great time studying with him!!”
Alon, Tel Aviv
“I especially enjoyed the clarity in all of what you were doing – I always understood what it was that you were teaching. I never felt lost. That was really awesome.”
Martin, Tampere
“Ryan’s approach to improv is both fun and inspiring. However, Ryan demonstrates that improv goes way deeper than that. It provides valuable lessons on how to communicate and collaborate more effectively. Ryan is a master and I learned a lot.”
Gerry, Brussels
“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. I learned how beautiful authenticity is, with such little moments as sharing your breakfast. Being in the moment is so amazing to see and to feel.”
Laura, Amsterdam
“I LOVED the fucking GREAT and positive energies in the workshop. They so got me going. Perhaps the highest moment during this festival was laughing in the workshop (to the dances… :)).”
Ben, Tel Aviv
“Ryan’s improv workshop is incredibly fun but also ruthlessly effective. Participants are taught to drop their inhibitions, let their imagination flow and and embrace the positive attitude at the heart of improv. They are also treated to Ryan’s personal blend of enthusiasm, wit and generosity.”
Jeremy, Brussels
