Have you ever watch production notes or heard an interview about a movie and the director/actor said "there was no script on that scene, it was all improv." Many "A-list" actors perform improv in their scenes, such as Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and even Mickey Rourke. Improv is not just about 'being funny', it comes from the natural flow from an actor who learns that calling on sincere emotions and states of mind is as easy as hopping on a bicycle.
The Professional Actors Studio offers 2 levels of improv workshops, for beginner and advanced improv actors. These workshops provide the improv actor with all of the fundamentals of improvised acting, focusing on how to build a successful scene with a partner or partners. Learn how to be successful in auditions and be further transformed into a great scene partner for increased success and collaboration in scripted work. Discover how to think and act "on your feet", improve your listening and reacting skills, and become a more instinctual actor. In addition, actors in the beginning class will be considered for advancement to the Professional Actors Studio performance troupe, "Playing In Traffic", which performs Saturday nights, with pay. Both of these classes are taught by Brian Chapman, a main stage member and performer for many years at The Whole World Theatre, and a member of the Professional Actors Studio. The beginner workshop is held on Sunday afternoons from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, and the advanced is held on Monday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 pm, at the Professional Actors Studio, located at 2849 Piedmont Road in the heart of Buckhead.
