Nov 30, 2003 Mark's old improv teacher, master and creator of Theatresports Keith Johnstone is the subject of a documentary that will be airing on Bravo Canada, The World According to Keith, on December 17, 8pm EST. It features interviews with Mark and Bruce. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO KEITH World Broadcast Premiere On Bravo! December 17 (Canadian Network) 5 pm PST, 6 pm MST, 8 pm EST "I don't think I've met many geniuses in my lifetime, but he was definitely one of them". - Mark McKinney. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO KEITH is an irreverent and revealing look at the life, work and art of Keith Johnstone, master of improv comedy and inventor of Theatresports?. His visionary ideas influenced television hits such as Kids in the Hall, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? His book Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre has become the Bible of theatre improvisers. The one hour documentary features Mark McKinney (Kids in the Hall, The Saddest Music In the World) who started as a student of Johnstone in Calgary; and Colin Mochrie (This Hour has 22 Minutes, Whose Line Is It Anyway?), who began his career in Vancouver's Theatresports troupe. The World According to Keith also features Wayne Brady (The Wayne Brady Show) and Brad Sherwood, both Theatresports alumni and stars of ABC's Whose Line Is It Anyway. Johnstone is a cheeky renaissance man with a gleeful sense of humour. He is also a tormented genius, tortured by his desire to create powerful art. His rebellious creative streak makes him break all the rules in everything he does: as a writer, painter, filmmaker, playwright, director, improv coach and drama professor. In the spirit of improv, the documentary examines Keith's world, weaving his past with the present, including workshop scenes and performance. Along the way we meet a critic who teaches his students to be positive, a control freak whose popular creation is out of control, and a mischievous visionary with a keen understanding of human nature. And they're all the same manS(Keith Johnstone. The World According to Keith is directed and produced by Vancouver's Arlene Rimer, also an entertainment lawyer. It is co-produced, originated and written by Cassandra Freeman, an improv teacher and Theatresports? alumnus. The Executive Producer is TV veteran Paddy Moore (CBC TV's Alive!), who took Improv courses with Keith Johnstone at the University of Victoria. For information on Keith Johnstone's workshops: The World According to Keith is produced by Executive Pictures Inc. in association with BRAVO! Canada, a division of CHUM Limited, Knowledge Network, Canadian Learning Television and BookTelevision: the channel; with the participation of the Canadian Television Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry Telefilm Canada: Equity Investment Program, Rogers Cable Network Fund, CanWest Western Independent Producers Fund, British Columbia Film, and the Telus BC Broadcast Fund. - posted by Tavie : 3:46 AM
