Jon Trevor - Improviser, Actor and Teacher
I have been teaching improv for 16 years, starting in 2008 when I launched the Box of Frogs Tuesday night drop-ins, that have been running ever since. I teach and coach at all levels, and I’d love to teach or coach you and your group.
I have trained at iO in Chicago, with the Maydays in the UK, and with many other internationally acclaimed teachers. I founded, direct and perform with Box of Frogs, Birmingham’s longest running improv troupe, whose performances include Glee Club Birmingham, Improfest UK London, Ludlow Festival, Cheltenham Everyman, and many others.
I teach a weekly drop-in in Birmingham, workshops at all levels, and evening a regular class. I am the Director of the Birmingham Improv Festival. I am also the CEO of Improv Initiative, which takes the tools of improv into organisations to bring about social, personal and corporate change.

“Jazz musicians say “It’s the silence between the notes, that holds the key to all music,” and “it’s all about the notes you don’t play”.
So, what about the silence between the words of an improv scene, the things we don’t vocalise? Sometimes we can say more with a gesture, a grimace or a smile, or even the way we sit or stand, than any words could convey. This workshop will examine all wonderful things that happen when we say less and do more. |
