Theatresports(TM), an improvisation show modelled on competition, with teams, explicit scoring by judges and mechanisms including the horn and penalties, quickly became a global phenomena and one of the most widely played improvisation formats in the world.
This guide is a resource for information and inspiration about how to play Theatresports(TM). It has been created to provide assistance for groups just starting out, to give direction to those who are unsure if they are heading in the right direction, and as a reminder to groups who have been playing a long time.
Here you will find information about the history of Theatresports(TM), the skills needed to play, the spirit and theory behind the concept, as well as practical information on the structure, the components and how to put them together in performing the format. Throughout you will find useful Keith Johnstone quotes, suggestions that might inspire discussion points with your group, and interesting Theatresports(TM) notes to aid you in successfully and enjoyably playing Theatresports(TM).
Most of the material in this study guide comes directly from Keith Johnstone via his classes, and his writings about Theatresports(TM) and through conversations with him personally. Additional material and commentary is provided by improvisers who have practiced Theatresports(TM) for decades and worked with Keith over the past 50 years.
The ITI would like to express our deepest grattitude to Sahgwook Lee who translated this guide book.
...if the Theatresports performance has gone well, you'll feel that you've been watching of a bunch of good-natured people who are wonderfully cooperative, and who aren't afraid to fail. It's therapeutic to be in such company, and to yell and cheer, and perhaps even volunteer to improvise with them. With luck you'll feel as if you've been at a wonderful party; Keith Johnstone
