Canada Tour - April 7 -21, 2010
Kepow TC performed "Seven Ages" and "On the Edge" at the famous Loose Moose
Theatre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in April 2010. Alongside side me,
was my co-performer Abi Hood. Keith Johnstone (author of Impro) helped create both these shows
years ago, but until this April hadn't had the opportunity to see them, since he lives
in Canada and we tour in Europe and Asia. The shows have changed
significantly over the years, but still bare the influence of Keith on
them. They feature: improvisation, mask work, story-based impro,
platforms and tilts, Fast-Food Stanislavski and various other
techniques. We had over an hour of notes and discussions after both
shows with Keith and he was pleased with both shows (in his own, under-stated
way!). Thank goodness.
