I've spent more than a decade in improvisational theatre, where I've played, voiced, and directed hundreds of spontaneous characters in front of live audiences. I'm a professional GM who runs improvised and planned adventures in many systems, who voices a buttload of characters. "By happenstance I've spent my life teaching the skills that my teachers had ignored. I encourage negative people to be positive, and clever people to be obvious, and anxious people not to do their best. People are surprised when I give as much attention to the 'klutzes' as to the 'talented' players. [...] I admired actors who were 'alive', moment by moment (unlike those from the 'Theatre of Taxidermy'), so I pinned up a list of 'Things My Teachers Stopped Me From Doing' and used it as a syllabus. My teachers had felt obliged to destroy our spontaneity, using techniques that had proved effective for hundreds of years, so why not reverse their methods? I had been urged to concentrate on one thing at a time, so I looked for ways of splitting the attention; I had been taught to look ahead, so I invented games that would make it difficult to think past the next word. 'Copying' had been called cheating, so I made people imitate each other. Funny voices had been anathema, so I encouraged funny voices. 'Originality' and 'concentration' had been prized so I became notorious as the acting coach who shouted 'Be more obvious!' and 'Be more boring!' and 'Don't concentrate!'" - Keith Johnstone, Impro for Storytellers ------- Don't have time for a workshop?
