SUMMARY:GUEST SPECIAL: THIS SCENE WAS ABOUT BY TIM ORR - SAT 11 APR 2026
DESCRIPTION:This Scene Was About is an improvised performance that celebrates connection\, emotion and ensemble storytelling. \nOriginally created in Bogotá\, Colombia in 2017 by Italian improviser Favio Maccioni\, the format grew out of an intensive workshop exploring the ideas of emotional mirroring and reading scenes as a gift. As Favio describes it\, it is “a combination of these two beautiful things in improv.” \nTrue to the spirit of improvisation\, the simplicity of the structure becomes its greatest strength. Scenes unfold in ways that are sometimes obvious and sometimes surprising\, inviting audiences into unexpected connections\, emotional depth and moments of shared discovery. \nVisiting artist Tim Orr brings this format to The Courtyard Playhouse\, drawn to its focus on ensemble work\, emotional awareness and the joy of shared storytelling. \n  \nAbout Tim Orr \nTim has improvised since 1988 with many San Francisco and international groups\, including BATS Improv\, True Fiction Magazine\, Awkward Dinner Party\, and 3 For All. In 2009\, he founded the acclaimed troupe Improv Playhouse of San Francisco. Since 2015\, he has toured Europe with Inbal Lori from Berlin performing their duo show Click. \nTim has also appeared in numerous plays in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and received critical acclaim for his leading roles in the improvised feature films\, Suckerfish and Security. \nNationally\, Tim has performed and taught improvisation at the American Conservatory Theatre\, BATS Improv\, Stanford University\, and many other venues (Los Angeles\, Chicago\, New York\, Austin\, Louisville\, Atlanta\, etc.). \nInternationally\, he has performed and taught at numerous festivals and/or as an invited guest artist in Amsterdam\, Barcelona\, Beijing\, Beirut\, Belgium\, Berlin\, Bucharest\, Dubai\, Hamburg\, Helsinki\, Lisbon\, London\, Lyon\, Mallorca\, Oslo\, Paris\, Saudi Arabia\, Shanghai\, Sofia\, Stockholm\, Tel Aviv and more. \nTim has consulted with numerous groups both nationally and internationally in their formation of improvisation groups and also the development of new improvisation formats. \nYoutube
