O sistema impro e a cooperação: a aplicação do trabalho de Johnstone em uma oficina de teatro com a comunidade

Abstract

Both the Impro System and Theatresports, creations of the English educator, director and writer Keith Johnstone, were founded and built from a perspective of kindness and collaboration. This work aims to reflect on the application of the Impro System and Theatresports in a theater workshop developed with young adults in Uberlândia, Brasil. The workshop culminated in the creation of a improvisation play called ‘Olimproviso’. The Impro System proved to be an effective training method to promote students connection and collaboration. The author also discusses the importance of this experience for his training as an educator and shares the joys and difficulties he encountered in the process.
