Clare Kerrison - our star tutor

I’m Clare Kerrison. I’m a kiwi improv (or impro) tutor recently returned home from seven years in the UK.  I do short form, long form and long form narrative improv.

While overseas, I developed the Cambridge improv community and taught improv there, co-founded the  Cambridge Improv Factory and mentored or played with various Cambridge and London improv groups. I was a member of London Harold team The Family Business and an original member of performance art improv trio The Dreaming.

Last year I helped Gatecrash Theatre start improv in Swindon and was in Bristol’s long running improvised soap opera, Closer Each Day.
 

I’ve been to drama school (National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art, Christchurch, New Zealand) and have a B.Soc.Sci in Psychology (University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand). I’ve studied improv in Keith Johnstone’s Masterclass, Loose Moose Summer School (Calgary), with Shawn Kinley and Patti Stiles, Monkey Toast (London), BATS Improv Long Form intensive (San Francisco), IO and Susan Messing London Intensives and have a UK teaching PTTLS.
