Acting for Improvisers is an intensive workshop that brings core acting skills into improvised performance, helping you create deeper, more resonant work on stage. The focus is on presence, emotional connection, and stagecraft, offering practical tools to build compelling characters and dynamic relationships in the moment.
You’ll explore vocal technique, physical and emotional choices, movement, and spatial awareness, learning how actors use the stage to add texture, clarity, and depth to scenes. The work draws on a range of influential practitioners, including Keith Johnstone, Anne Bogart, Laban, Stanislavski, Meisner, and Patsy Rodenburg.
Designed especially for improvisers with little or no formal acting training, this intensive broadens emotional range and supports more visceral, engaging performance. You’ll leave with an adaptable “actor’s toolbox” of skills, methods, and approaches to draw on freely in your improvisation.

Dan O’Connor is an actor, improviser, writer, director, and the founder and former Producing Artistic Director of Los Angeles’ acclaimed Impro Theatre. A pioneer of West Coast improv, he co-founded BATS Improv in San Francisco and LA Theatresports.
Dan began improvising and acting at age nine at ACT’s Young Conservatory, later training in London at the Webber Douglas Academy. After returning to the U.S., he joined the first Theatresports workshop in San Francisco and studied extensively with Keith Johnstone. His work in unscripted narrative improvisation led to the creation of Impro Theatre in 2003, known for full-length improvised plays inspired by Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Chekhov, Dickens, Film Noir, The Twilight Zone, and many other literary and film genres.
He has taught and directed worldwide - at festivals, universities, and Fortune 500 companies - and performed in venues including the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Pasadena Playhouse, South Coast Rep, and Off-Broadway in Improbable Theatre’s Lifegame, created by Keith Johnstone, as well as in the television series of the same name. His stage, improv, and television credits include Seinfeld, Malcolm in the Middle, Raising Hope, NCIS, The Righteous Gemstones, Emily in Paris, and over 100 commercials.
Dan co-created and starred in NBC/PAX’s World Cup Comedy, produced Quick Witz, directed the sitcoms Sons & Daughters and Campus Ladies, and wrote for The Wayne Brady Show, Payne, and Disney’s The Weekenders. He also co-created, with Stephen Kearin, “Living Story Board,” a real-time collaborative improvisation method for developing animated features at DreamWorks and Disney Animation.
A frequent consultant for major corporations, Dan has worked with DreamWorks, Disney, KPMG, Ernst & Young, Bank of America, Cirque du Soleil productions, and more. He is the co-author, with Jeff Katzman, of two books on applying improvisation to everyday life - UnScripted and Ensemble! - published by North Atlantic Books/Penguin Random House.
Dan lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actor Edi Patterson.
