The individual foundation of improvisation
Physical improvisation and acting training
Impro Supreme teaches you to be fully here: to notice when you slip, return to yourself, and work from a clear physical presence.
Who this is for
Impro Supreme is for actors, performers and improvisers — anyone who wants to train improvisation seriously.
If you’re looking to work with presence, clarity and physical truth, this is for you.
The training is individual, methodical and grounded.
It’s designed for those who want to deepen their craft — not for those seeking shortcuts or quick effects.
If you’re committed to working from yourself rather than from habit, you’ll feel at home here.
What Impro Supreme stands for
Improvisation begins in the body.
You work from where you are — not from ideas, habits or performance reflexes.
Impro Supreme trains attention: noticing when you slip, returning to yourself, and letting the body inform your choices. From this, clarity and imagination arise naturally.
The work is simple: be here, stay attentive, and act from the place you’re in.
It sounds easy. It isn’t. But it’s real.
This is the craft.
What you can expect
Start from the body, stay attentive, and work from where you are
Be here before you begin
You start from the body. You take time to feel weight, balance and rhythm — so you know where you are before you act.
Notice when you slip
Rather than pushing or rushing, you learn to catch the moment when you get carried away. This is where clarity begins.
Return to yourself
You come back to the place you’re in — physically and attentively — and let the moment show you what’s available.
Create and act from presence
From here, choices appear naturally. You work from a clear physical presence, not from habit or performance reflexes.
What performers say
This method changes your whole outlook on improvisation and the creative process. Improv at its most exciting, fresh and deep level.

Improv actor & musician
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.

About Impro Supreme
A clear physical way of working with improvisation
Founded in Paris in 2010 by performer and teacher Caspar Schjelbred, Impro Supreme offers a clear physical approach to improvisation and acting.
The work begins in the body: feeling where you are, staying attentive and letting the moment show you what’s available.
The training brings together clown, mime, dance and improvisation into a practical method — one that helps you notice when you slip, return to yourself and work from a clear physical presence.
Caspar teaches internationally and works with actors, performers and creators who want a grounded, perceptive and fully embodied stage presence. The focus is simple: be here, stay attentive and let the imagination move through the body with clarity.
