About Impro Supreme

The individual foundation of improvisation and acting

Impro Supreme is a physical–imaginative approach to improvisation and acting, developed over twenty years of performing and teaching.

It trains the connection between body and imagination – the foundation that no workshop, troupe or scene format can give you unless you build it deliberately.

Caspar Schjelbred

Improvisation and acting teacher

I teach with a simple conviction: expression begins in the body – not in ideas, tricks or psychological speculation.

Since founding Impro Supreme in 2010, I’ve worked with actors, improvisers, dancers and movement artists across Europe, developing a method rooted in physical acting, clown, mime and perceptual training.

Why Impro Supreme exists

Most performers develop ideas faster than they can embody them.

They learn games, tools, techniques and concepts – yet the essential connection between body and imagination often remains untrained. Without it, improvisation becomes mental, verbal, or dependent on personality rather than presence.

Impro Supreme exists to restore that foundation. Not through more techniques or formats, but through individual, physical, deliberate training.

From the training room

The Impro Supreme workshop was an incredible experience because I now feel better connected to my physical self as I explore characters and relationships in improvisation.

Caspar is a wonderfully intelligent and experienced teacher who is able to motivate while also making you laugh and feel comfortable exploring your own creativity.

John Mabey

This method changes your whole outlook on improvisation and the creative process. Improv at its most exciting, fresh and deep level.

I consider this workshop one of the best I’ve ever done – and a lot of the things we did are still central to my understanding of improv and storytelling.

Koenraad Coel

Impro Supreme has been most useful to me in terms of knowing new methods of work, acquiring new skills and mostly identifying my weak spots that need work and improvement.
