Roland Trescher

Roland Trescher lives and works in Munich, Germany. In 1990 he encountered improv for the first time in an “experimental” seminar at the drama department of the university of Munich, where he studied drama and psychology. Improv amazed him from the beginning. As an output from this seminar he founded an improvgroup to be first one performing in public in Southern Germany. Very quickly they became successful. Roland worked with many teachers as Keith Johnstone, Del Close, Randy Dixon, Ruth Zapora, Dennis Cahill and many more, to improve his knowledge and skills about improv.

Since 1992, when he did his first show in public, he has performed about 1500 shows all over Europe. Besides performing on stage he has always been a teacher and trainer. His students were actors, improvisers, students at universities and drama schools, teachers at schools, young people at festivals and employees and manager in companies (i.e. BMW, HypoVereinsbank, Audi, GlaxoSmithKline, Oracle, Renault Nissan Bank, Siemens)

Aside from his new Improvgroup Isar148 he started 2 years ago, he joined monidalnet, a network of trainers and consultants to share their diverse knowledge, values and work. His company ImproMedia became a Label for his seminars, workshops and trainings focused on improv. Here Improv is the basic idea, enriched and reinforced by additional competencies and trainers.

Roland is convinced only openness and knowledge sharing prepares us to be ready for the knowledge society, and therefore the ideas of improv will be useful for more and more people and companies.
