SUMMARY:TIM ORR: PLAYING CHARACTERS WHO ACTUALLY LIKE EACH OTHER - INTENSIVE FOR ADULTS SUMMER 2026
DESCRIPTION:In this intensive\, our international guest instructor Tim Orr explores a simple but often overlooked question: is there really a need for conflict and trouble between characters in every scene? \nWhat happens when we choose to play people who genuinely like each other? When characters get along\, support one another\, and share a point of view\, a whole new world of conflict-free detail opens up. Relationships become clearer\, specifics deepen\, and the scene gains texture without relying on friction to move forward. \nThis workshop invites experienced improvisers to experiment with connection over confrontation\, discovering how alignment can generate just as much momentum\, nuance\, and depth as disagreement. \nA powerful and perspective-shifting approach that can fundamentally change the way you build scenes. \n*This workshop is suitable for experienced improvisors only\, who have completed an intermediate course with us or their equivalent.  \n  \nClass Schedule: \nFri 3 April 7:00pm-10:00pm\nSat 4 April 7:00pm-10:00pm\nSun 5 April 7:00pm-10:00pm \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
