Voyages

Since I recently was in Vancouver and Seattle, I thought I should continue the “the most important thing” project page (right here). I’m glad to have collected answers from : Joe Bill from… I don’t know where’s he’s from, he seems like he’s everywhere ! Michael Robinson from VTSL Ken Lawson from VTSL Billy Tierney from The Upfront Theatre…

Becky Johnson is a perfomer in Iron Cobra, a two person improv team. They just blew my mind at the festival: I had never seen such a mix of funny and truthfulness on stage. And risk-taking. They were inspirational to me (and I stole some of their stuff). Becky does a lot of craft. She…

Alistair Cook is the founder and director of Instant Theatre in Vancouver. I got the chance of meeting him at last year’s Dad’s Garage Theatersports Tournament, and we even got to play with them on stage. I remember that it involved a giraffe… Here’s what he had to say about improv. Enjoy! [dailymotion x9hsvl] PS:…

Truckasaurus is the coolest thing, after Chimpmunks. It’s a dragon monster-truck that eats cars and shoots flames. How cool is that ? I discovered it thanks to my workshop friends in Calgary. Apparently, in America, people have events like this, on sundays, where they set up this monster to eat cars in a huge arena.…

I’m back from the trip. It was awesome and I loved it. I miss Chicago, Minneapolis and Calgary. I’ll keep writing some more posts under the [Voyages] tag, but after that, it’s back to normal… Je suis de retour. Le voyage était génial et j’ai adoré. Chicago, Calgary et Minneapolis me manquent. Je vais continuer…
