John Cremer
John Cremer was our first ever improv teacher and a huge inspiration to Hoopla, and he’s back in London to teach a one-off workshop!
And we are giving him total CREATIVE FREEDOM to do what he wants and go with the flow of the group!
John Cremer started in improv with Louis Anthony Russo in Arizona and then joined Essential Theatre Playback Company. Returning to his native Brighton in 2001 he founded the Maydays and grew the company with award winning shows, classes, festival tours and a hugely popular annual improv residential.
John was Steve Roe’s first ever improv teacher and inspired and mentored Steve in setting up Hoopla in London. Without John we wouldn’t exist! So it’s an honour to host this workshop for him.
John Cremer is also an award winning professional speaker. There aren’t too many people like him. His methods are playful yet provocative and he is renowned for delivering profound learning with a light, humorous touch.
His easy going, mischievous approach invites you to take yourself less seriously and to embrace novel approaches to personal interactions. His apparent tranquility and calm belies an ability to strike a chord with audiences that is so deep and personal, that it is as if he’s known the whole audience from childhood.
John is also the author of two fantastic books; Improv and The Art of Reading People.
