Your school's craft deserves a home

Improv principles get called out in class but rarely written. Game structures vary by teacher. Notes from rehearsal sit in performers' phones. C3NTR is a quiet place to write it all down once, in your school's voice.

Who this is for

Independent schools

One teacher, a teaching space, and a steady stream of students. C3NTR puts your technique, repertoire and history in one place.

Schools with multiple teachers

Two or more teachers, several classes a week. C3NTR holds the shared standard so every class draws from the same library.

Schools with performance teams

You run a performance team. Content locked by level keeps foundation students on basics while team members see long-form structure.

Built for teachers, not for IT

Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next game breakdown in plain prose. The next class, students arrive knowing the form.

Write directly in the app

Like a notepad. New articles are drafts until you publish, so nothing goes live by mistake.

Mobile-first authoring

Edit on the phone between classes or on the way home. The same library, the same edit screen.

A working library in under an hour

Import the starter template in a few taps. Edit anything that doesn't fit. Publish when ready.

Levels, foundation, intermediate, advanced, performer

Content locked by level, in your school's progression

Tag any article with a minimum level. Foundation students see yes-and and listening. Intermediate see games and structure. Performers see long-form. The same library, the right view per student.

A glossary of improv comedy terminology

Improv comedy carries its own vocabulary. C3NTR's glossary holds the terms in one place: the technical names, your school's translation, and the article each term appears in.

Yes-And
The core agreement of improv, accepting what your partner has established and adding to it.
Offer
Anything a player gives to the scene, a line, a gesture, an emotion, a physical choice that establishes something about the world.
Block
Refusing or undoing an offer from your partner, the opposite of accepting it.
Tilt
The moment a scene shifts, a piece of information lands, a feeling rises, a power dynamic flips.
Justify
To make sense of an offer that seemed strange or sudden by treating it as deliberate and finding the reason for it.
Status
The relative power between two characters in a scene, who has more influence, confidence, or control at any given moment.

Shows, jams, masterclasses

C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the next show, post the next jam, and let students see what's ahead. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.

Start from our Improv Comedy template

A working starter with 12 articles, 2 short videos, a 9-terms glossary across 5 tags (Getting Started, Yes-And, Building Scenes, Listening, Games and Warmups). Import in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit your school. Every article, term and tag is yours from the moment you import.

Common questions

Can students only see their level's material?

Yes. Tag any article with a minimum level. New students see only foundations. Teachers see everything.

Does it cover Del Close, Keith Johnstone, UCB?

Yes. The starter is method neutral. Del Close, Keith Johnstone, UCB can adapt the curriculum without rewriting.

Can my school customise the improv comedy template?

Yes. Every article, exercise and tag is editable. Add your school's repertoire, your favoured methods and your house standards.

How long does it take to set up?

Most schools have a working library in under an hour. Import the starter template in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit. Starting blank takes a little longer. Allow an hour or two to write your first ten articles. Students can use the app the day you publish.

Do I have to stop using my booking system?

No. C3NTR is a knowledge library for your curriculum, terminology and progressions. Booking, billing and scheduling stay with the tools you already use.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Seed is free forever for up to 30 students, with no credit card required. Move up to School (£39/mo) or Academy (£69/mo) when you outgrow it.
