Master Class: IMPROVISATION

With KEITH JOHNSTONE (Calgary, Kanada)

in Berlin, 2012 or 2013 (date will be announced)

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
