The Anthropology of Improv (I of II)
Had you entered my world earlier this week, you would have found me sweating on the warm stage, half-blinded by the lights. Ahead of me, I can barely make out the dim presence of an audience – human shapes dotted throughout the theatre, with no distinctness of feature. My director Jeff stands casually at the mike, his familiar face soliciting suggestions from the shadow people out there. Warm and with a circumscribed range of vision, I am literally standing at the brink of the unknown, waiting for an unknown someone to tell me what I am to do and who I am to be for the next couple of minutes.
