James Dwyer

I have been a performer and teacher at UCB for over a decade. My past improv credits at the theatre include The Law Firm, poHa, Strife, One Man Harold, Harold Night, and more. Currently I improvise with my team Duchovny and on ASSSSCAT.

My improv training has primarily been through the UCB Training Center where I learned from Beck Drysdale, Will Hines, Shannon O'Neill, Anthony Atamanuik, Silvija Ozols, and Charlie Todd among others.

As a coach/director, my primary focus is to help you and your team elevate your craft. That can be as simple as getting some reps in because you're new to improv or developing a high-concept show from scratch. I'm well-versed in The Harold, The Spokane, Monoscene and The Movie form. I'm also experienced in experimenting with structure and form.
