Description

Since the sixties, Keith Johnstone has led the work on improvisation in theatre, schools and universities. His unique ideas, set out in the classic text, Impro, have now been taken up by practitioners the world over. Impro for Storytellers builds on and extends the seminal earlier work.
Keith's techniques specialize in releasing an individual's potential within the context of group work. He became notorious as the acting coach who would shout 'Be more boring!' and 'Don't concentrate!'.
Keith Johnstone is an inspirational teacher and writer, and Impro for Storytellers will encourage a life-long study of human interaction.
