A l’occasion d’une soirée pendant l’atelier de dix jours avec Keith Johnstone, nous avons regardé et commenté “Le Kid”, “La ruée vers l’or” et “Le Cirque” de Chaplin, ainsi que “Seven Chances” de Buster Keaton. Beaucoup d’illustrations du concept d’advancing / not advancing (Impro for Storytellers, p. 248 – 254). J’ai du mal à expliquer…

Après deux semaines passées à Chicago, l’heure est venue de dresser le bilan. Conclusion n°1 : Chicago est la Mecque des improvisateurs.

Les trois théâtres phares de la ville pour l’impro,…
