Who is this for?
This is a workshop for improvisers who want to practise improvising lots of different characters. Whether you’d like to improve and expand your range, or whether you love playing characters and want to get even more practise at it, this is a session for you. We’ll look at a variety of ways into character and will also do some improvised scenes, with side-coaching/feedback from me, so that you can put techniques into practise.
Testimonials
“Susan delivers world-class coaching. She brings out the best in people, and helps them realise their full potential.” (David Symington – Character in Improv Course student)
“Susan Harrison has a very tactical approach and gives very specific constructive notes that help each individual to work on their weakest points and therefore improve more quickly. It was a pleasure to be taught by someone so talented and enthusiastic yet highly approachable”. (Lola Maxwell – Character in Improv Course student)

About the Instructor
I’m Susan Harrison and I’m an improviser, actor and character comedian. I am a longstanding member of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical who I perform with nationally and on the West End. I also improvise with Mischief Movie Night (Mischief Theatre) and have been lucky enough to play with West End hit show Austentatious. I have my own show These Folk (alongside Justin Brett) an improvised folk musical, and I perform with improv duo BEINGS at Hoopla. I am all about characters, playfulness and emotional connection. I teach for Showstopper, Hoopla (London’s biggest improv school) and have also taught improv at Mountview, GSA, ALRA, The Bridge, The Actors Centre, as well as at improv festivals in Ireland, Scotland and Rome. I teach improvisers of all levels of experience and am passionate about creating a supportive and playful learning environment.
