Improv: From the Beginnings to the Future
Saturday, Feb. 16, 4pm
This panel discussion will feature David Shepherd, one of the founders of modern improvisation in America discussing how the movement started and the impetus and ideas that created the art form in Chicago and it's growth to where it is today. Panelists from the first days of improv in Seattle will be present to discuss how these ideas influenced their work, and how the Chicago movement translated to the exploration of improvisational theater in Seattle.
The symposium is open to the public and is free.
