Keith Johnstone teaches how to improvise in public, as entertainment. He invented “Theatresports”, “Gorilla Theatre” and "Micetro”. “I mean, an improviser should be more than just a comedian. He should be able to impersonate all dreams and nightmares which are locked in the minds of the audience.“ From 1956 to 1966, Keith Johnstone was Associate Director at the Royal Court Theatre, London. Under Johnstone´s direction the famous RCT author´s studio was created. Writers like John Arden, Wole Soyinka, Arnold Wesker and Edward Bond were amongst its members. In 1971 he moved to Canada to teach at Calgary University. There he founded the ‘Loose Moose Theatre’ and became its artistic director. He is the author of ‘IMPRO’ (Methuen), one of the best-selling books on improvisation, and ‘Impro For Storytellers’ (Faber and Faber). “Johnstone confirms conflict as the central factor of existence and of drama, a law of nature indispensable in private and public drama. His questions connect anew existence and performance.” George Tabori

Susan Batson worked as actress, stage manager, casting director, producer and personal coach of Juliette Binoche, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and others. Susan Batson had her first big success in the musical ‘Hair’ at the end of the sixties, followed by many Broadway Shows, films, television and theatre, where she acted with partners like Paul Newman and Sophia Loren. Susan Batson is author of the acting book Truth: Personas, Needs, and Flaws in the Art of Building Actors and Creating Characters (Kidman wrote the foreword).
Susan Batson uses the „Method“as a flexible tool which she applies specifically to the students and their needs. She concentrates on the specific problems of the actor’s expression, on connecting intimacy and universality to artistic expression. This precise way of working expands the range of the individual possibilities. The emphasis will be on the work on scenes and monologues and on „audition training“, with scripts changing from day to day. The analytical part of the actor’s work consist of the emotional work starts: „You are responsible to create a functioning, speaking, thinking and feeling person. Imagine the real life of the person. Design a biography of your character. Make a list of what you like and dislike about the character. Find out what you appreciate and understand concerning your character. And then decide how you are going to express your view and communicate it to the audience“.

Group 1, daily 10am – 4pm: For actors from theatre, film and TV. Exercises are used to prepare the “instrument of the actor”, a physical and psychical approach to the character by using daily changing monologues. No preparation necessary.
Group 2, daily 6pm – 12pm: For actors, who worked already with Susan Batson. On the basis of a prepared character every actor will approach the character by using daily changing exercises, to get to know the character backwards.
