In the DVD ‘Impro: transformations’, Keith Johnstone teaches status transactions, storytelling, spontaneity and more, most of which was filmed at the 2008 Keith Johnstone Summer School in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Keith Johnstone, the internationally recognized authority in the field of improvisation, has developed exercises for actors that both deconstruct human interaction and at the same time help to remove obstacles that block intuitive behaviour. His theatrical formats for Impro include TheatresportsTM, Maestro ImproTM, Gorilla TheatreTM, and The Life Game©. He is author of the improvisation classics ‘Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre’ (1979, Methuen Publishing) and Impro for storytellers (1998, Faber and Faber Limited) which are in print in many languages. He was Associate Director of London’s Royal Court Theatre. He taught acting and improvisation at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) for years (without being fired!). He was a fellow of the University of Calgary Humanities Institute and is a Professor Emeritus of that University.
