Impro Theatre ACT is based on the
popular short-form impro groups that started springing up all over the
world after Keith Johnstone in Canada created Theatresports.
In Australia,
most capital cities have booming impro movements with literally hundreds of
participants.
If you've ever seen Theatresports or
the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway" or even the new Australian
show, "Thank God You're Here", then you'd be familiar with the
sort of thing we do.
We are in a constant process of

present them in shows consisting of
20-30 short scenes, which are invariably comic, (though this is not
necessarily the case). Scenes are
created from titles suggested by the audience or an MC, and performed
as "games" which each have a different set of ground rules, (eg.
as a One Word At A Time Story or as a Mime or as a Song). There are
literally hundreds of different games and we're creating more all the time.
Whilst there was a
similar organisation in Canberra
back in the late 1980's, Impro Theatre ACT began in April 2005. Since then,
we have trained around eighty people and have performed monthly shows at
The Street Theatre since July 2005, as well as several performances
elsewhere. Those who join our courses are not required to perform in
public, but those who choose to are automatically invited to be in the
monthly shows.
