A practical framework for teaching improv

Andrew Berkowitz’s guide focuses on the work behind an improv class: choosing a clear topic, identifying skills to develop, building exercises, and organizing a syllabus or workshop. It also addresses the in-room responsibilities of teaching, including side coaching, supporting different kinds of students, and managing class energy. The scope connects advance planning with the choices an instructor makes while a session is underway, making the book a resource centered on both curriculum design and facilitation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People beginning to teach improvisation
  • Improv instructors looking to develop class plans, exercises, or workshops
  • Teachers interested in side coaching and supporting varied students
