Keith Johnstone Memorial Boot Camp workshop with Andy Crouch (2.5 hrs)

This workshop is a fast-paced review of the most iconic games and exercises that Keith developed over his 70-year career as a teacher and director of improvisation. We’ll bring back some classics from the early days of the Hideout that no one has done for years; we’ll reinvestigate favorite games in more depth that you might have seen once or twice but definitely haven’t mastered, we’ll pull games out of the pages of his two groundbreaking books (Impro and Impro for Storytellers); and we’ll play with some Keith games that I’m only just now hearing about as the world has been celebrating his life over the past few weeks.
