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
Johnstone's 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 Johnstone's life and career using a combination of archival
documents – many from Johnstone's personal collection –
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
Johnstone's transformative classrooms, and into the conceptual spaces
which inform his radical pedagogy and approach to artistic work.
