What is the purpose of improvisation? Traditionally
improvisers were supposed to serve the song and the music, but is "free
improv" too often a free-for-all, with the loudest and most dominating
voice “winning”? What principles should a
good improviser be guided by, and what bad habits should they avoid?
Audience members may want to share their personal horror stories ...
In addition, the panel of sage improvisers will
perform Clinton Green’s game piece “Good Improv/Bad Improv” - this
involves individual performers in a group receiving incompatible
instructions like "be the loudest" and "follow the person
on your left", designed to explore group dynamics and create hilarity
for the audience.
This is last in the current series of More Talk Less Action, and probably the last one for some time.
