Keith Johnstone entered the Royal Court Theatre as a new playwright in 1956: a decade later he emerged as a groundbreaking director and teacher of improvisation. His decisive book Impro (1979); described Johnstones unique system of training: weaving together theories and techniques to encourage spontaneous; collaborative creation using the intuition and imagination of the actors. Johnstone has since become world-renowned; inspiring theatre greats and beginners alike; and his work continues to influence practice within and beyond the traditional theatre.Theresa Robbins Dudeck is the first author to rigorously examine Johnstones life and career using a combination of archival documents ndash; many from Johnstones personal collection ndash; participant observation; and interviews with Johnstone; his colleagues and former students. Keith Johnstone: A Critical Biography is a fascinating journey through the physical spaces that have served as Johnstones transformative classrooms; and into the conceptual spaces which inform his radical pedagogy and approach to artistic work.
