"In my case it was largely my interest in art that had destroyed any life in the world around me. I'd learned perspective, and about balance, and composition. It was as if I'd learned to redesign everything, to reshape it so that I saw what ought to be there, which of course is much inferior to what is there. The dullness was not am inevitable consequence of age, but of education."

Fechando mais um pequeno ciclo de estudos com um gigante! Frank Totino, talvez uma das figuras essenciais da improvisação mundial, ofereceu nesse curso um novo mergulho, em uma camada além, nos elementos fundamentais da impro, da espontaneidade, da ação dramática. Momentos incríveis! Olha minha cara no print 💕 Obrigado, mestre! Obrigado Aline Bourseau por tornar tudo isso possível. Obrigado Jurema Pedroso pela generosa tradução. Obrigado turma, pela partilha! Os prints são do Massa! Segue o baile! Viva a impro!

Keith Johnstone und die verlorene Begeisterung

Keith Johnstone und die verlorene Begeisterung

Am 24. August 2016 gab es vor dem Theaterhaus Mitte eine Gesprächsrunde mit Keith Johnstone, einer der prägenden Personen des modernen Improtheaters. Es war sehr viel Publikum vor Ort, auf Nachfrage fast alle mit Schauspiel- oder Improhintergrund. Es war Open Air eine kleine Bühne aufgebaut und der Sommer zeigte sich von seiner besten Seite. Keith Johnstone war für einen Workshop in Berlin,…

The most “bite-sized” insight I got from Impro was that keeping your head very still when you speak makes you appear (and feel!) considerably more authoritative; if done well and in the right context, it can fill you with gravitas in the eyes of others and boost your confidence. Johnstone says:

... Finally I explain [to my students] that I'm keeping my head still whenever I speak, and that this produces great changes in the way I perceive myself and am perceived by others. I suggest you try it now with anyone you're with. Some people find it impossible to speak with a still head, and more curiously, some students maintain that it's still while they're actually jerking it about. I let such students practise in front of a mirror, or I use videotape. Actors needing authority—tragic heroes and so on—have to learn this still head trick. You can talk and waggle your head about if you play the grave digger, but not if you play Hamlet. Officers are trained not to move the head while issuing commands.
