REMY BERTRAND

improvisation workshop leader

I started acting in Avignon aged 15 with the Chene Noir Theatre. After appearing on American TV alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, I trained as an actor with ATQ Evry, acted in fringe and musical theatre and trained as a production administrator, producing short films and teaching communication skills. Moving to London, I undertook improvisation training with Spontaneous Combustion, the Cardboard Citizen and others, appeared in improvisation shows and trained homeless people, city kids, post graduates, business people and the cast of the first ever Yemeni feature film in improvisation. In 2005, I collected my notes to create the Far Games, a method in progress to teach improvisation. I run the London Acting and Improvising Meetup Group, am a co-founding member of the Applied Improvisation Network Europe, and appear regularly onstage with my physical theatre company, the Stuttgart's Delight.
