ABOUT IMPROVISATION

Testimonials

“Improvisation with Bobby Phillips is a wonderfully immersive, meditative, and fun experience! His approach challenges you to open your perspective in creative and transformational ways. His classes have changed the way I view improv. Not just something to work on toward a stage performance, but something that translates into the performance of life itself.” - Genna R

“I had such an eye-opening experience. It has definitely helped me a lot in my personal growth as an actor and a person!” - Lydia

“In a short period of time, I was able to transform into my inner child with a group of total strangers. I had a blast!” - Tommy C

Facilitator Bio

For years I performed in a weekly show in Eastown with a group called Fictional Friends. I then conducted a series of workshops at an Ecuadorian medicine center, and witnessed the power of improvisation to heal old wounds. Seeking more, I went in search of Relapse Theater, a landmark Atlanta theater. This journey introduced me to Viola Spolin, improv’s founder. I’ve since been in class with Viola’s granddaughter Aretha Sills, and taught workshops regularly at Detroit’s Planet Ant, with sessions at the DAAC, Lake Michigan College, GVSU, The Comedy Project, and Kalamazoo’s Dormouse Theatre.
