David Charles, PhD, works as a professional improvisational practitioner, deviser, author, and improv scholar. A New Zealander by birth, David has called central Florida home since 2003, where he has served as a Professor of Theatre and Dance, Departmental Chair, Producing Director of the historic Annie Russell, and Founding Artistic Director of Rollins Improv Players at Rollins College. He is a former Equity improviser with Walt Disney World’s Comedy Warehouse and a proud ensemble member, instructor, and director at the region’s preeminent improv venue, Sak Comedy Lab.
“In The Improv Dictionary, Charles shares what he has learned in a unique way: He has arranged the art form’s tactics and philosophies into a dictionary format, explaining such terms as “bulldozing” (strong-arming your partners into going along with your vision for a scene, a practice that is frowned upon) in succinct, easily navigable chunks. What’s more, Charles has tried to nudge the conversation on improv forward by pursuing a more modern, culturally inclusive approach that he feels is wholly in keeping with the collaborative nature of the genre itself.” Steve Schneider, Winter Park Magazine
