Yes, a BIG Improvisation World tour Logo.  Doesn't it make you want to sing a song? Nothing much here.  Be creative today and come up with another use for this empty spot  Improvisation World tour - the words just ring in your ears like a  ringing thing that rings... in your ears This space for rent.  Maybe for a small family from Borneo or an Orangutan.  Hey YOU in Borneo stop destroying the forests and hurting those innocent Orangutans.  What did they ever do to you?
Mime mask movement impro and improvisation of course and contact improvisation which is a little different.  Ever done any scenography?  Have you managed to read down theis far before the words dissapeared?  Maybe you need a speed reading course?  Orrrr how about a narrative story telling creativity spontanaiety jam session?  

THE WASHINGTON POSTS -

The Smithsonian Institute holds a little festival called "FOLKLIFE " .  Over a million people visit.  In 2006, the province of Alberta, Canada was invited to showcase all of her hidden mysteries and wonders.

Improvisation was an obvious choice for a cultural offering considering Keith Johnstone's work in Calgary and the ongoing creations of Calgary's Loose Moose and Edmonton's Rapid Fire Theatre.  Four improvisers :

Shawn Kinley,
Jackie Fries,
Mark Meers,
Julian Faid

perform for two weeks for the Americans.  The following is the diary that Shawn was invited to create for the Alberta government.

The original diary can be viewed at www.albertaindc.com/diary
