Spreading the Transforming Power of Improvisation

Johnstone Summer Intensive Class Notes

Now that the wonderful session has ended, I've reorganized my blog entries into chronological class notes for easier reference.

Cheers,

the notes were wonderful. I was in a show last night and I kept remembering a number of useful thoughts...
"if you are talking, you are not being altered by the offer or tilt"
"change your face to change yourself..."
"improv is the art of being altered"

A fellow player was feeling "off" and I suggested Keith's "try to be less good". We ended up deciding to be "cheeky" and do a bit of mischief. And things shifted for both of us.

Unusually, there was popcorn backstage and it linked up to Keith's thought that we should serve popcorn at improv shows so that no one thinks that this is a cultural event.

Thanks again for your post.. lots of lovely thoughts and ideas.
