Character-based Improvisation with Robert Marchand

Character-based Improvisation (CBI) Process is a means of creating detailed, complex characters, whether it’s for conventional scripted material, ensemble scenes or improvised dramas – the process can be used to create entire films as well (It’s how British director Mike Leigh creates his films).

The CBI process allows actors and filmmakers greater creative freedom; it empowers and liberates: actors achieve performances that are spontaneous, immediate and truthful; directors are able to maintain a creative overview and to build on what the actor does.

Both actors and filmmakers benefit from the creative partnership formed through CBI Process.
