INSIDE THE WORK
More freedom inside the scene.
For actors who know the lines and have done the work—and want that preparation to disappear into behavior. AdlerImprov helps you stop pushing, anticipating, presenting, or trying to reproduce the last good take.
Bring fully learned material. Rob uses games and playable adjustments to redirect attention, open new behavior, and bring the discovery back into the scene.
Rob Adler is a director, filmmaker, actor, educator, and the founder of AdlerImprov. He is on the faculty of The Theatre School at DePaul University and previously served on the faculty of the USC School of Dramatic Arts.

TESTIMONIALS
“Rob Adler’s class has given me a new sense of play in my work, as well as an ability to roll with the punches both onstage and on set. Since beginning Rob’s class, I have had the flexibility and confidence to improvise staging while on horseback for a national commercial, and to improvise dialogue while onstage – in ASL Sign Language!””
“[AdlerImprov] has freed up my body so much and the exercises teach you to become present and out of your head. Rob Adler challenges you and takes your craft to another level. When I’m feeling nervous or anxious on set, I resort to the exercises and it really helps me, it gets me focused.””
“Magic…it’s the creative edge that sets you apart from your peers. Adler is a coach who can marry improvisation with not only scripted material, but the modern demands of the industry as well. Through his humor, passion, intelligence and generosity, Rob has a way of getting actors to let go and play.””
