Impro for Storytellers

Keith Johnstone

'This book is set to be a bible for those of us interested in creating real theatre.'

Phelim McDermott, Improbable Theatre

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's improvisations enable people to be more active, sponta-

neous and flexible. The exercises he suggests free the mind. We use them in

our seminars and people get energized: they act in a more open way, they are

more sensitive to the person they are in contact with, they use their imagina-

tion and are able suddenly to invent stories without any effort.'

Dr Eleonore Hoefner, Deutsches Institut fur Provokative Therapie, Munich

Keith Johnstone is an inspirational teacher and writer, and Impro for

Storytellers will encourage a life-long study of human interaction.

Praise for Impro:

'Keith Johnstone suggests a hundred practical techniques for encouraging

spontaneity and originality by catching the subconscious unawares. But what

makes the book such fun is his wit. Here is an inexhaustible supply of zany

suggestions for unfreezing the petrified imagination.' Daily Telegraph
