A Little story continues...
Decades ago, at a little theatre created by Keith Johnstone,
Patti Stiles, Shawn Kinley and Steve Jarand performed and played
and improvised together.
Then, they went off to explore the world of improvisation in more than 60 countries.
What cames next was...
an exciting, adventurous exploration as these three united for the first time to create a unique improvisation workshop experience!
The 2025 REACT WORKSHOP WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!

WHO, WHAT, WHERE & WHEN
A RICH AND UNIQUE IMPROVISATION INTENSIVE
REACT IMPRO WORKSHOP is a 10-day impro learning experience centred in spontaneity, creativity, story and theatre creation. It is presented by 3 internationally respected professional improvisers who are possibly the world’s most traveled improvisers.
The react workshop will offer a broad spectrum of improvisation wisdom with emphasis on story, physical presence, mask work, relationship, awareness, risk-taking while focusing on student’s individual needs.
Sessions will primarily be in English but participants will be encouraged to work in their own language for some exercises and performance. (And Steve has a working knowledge of Spanish, French, German and English). Students will have opportunities to work with all 3 teachers with some sessions be held in shared teaching environments (2 or 3 teachers during one session).
The process will involve some performance opportunity for those interested as well as extra community performance collaborations. Expect some inspiring work in narrative, play, relationship, mask, character and REACTION!
