Francavilla Fontana was born in the first draft of improvisational theater in Brindisi. First step in a course open to beginners and players at the local headquarters of arms.
ARCI Francavilla Fontana announces the birth of theatrical improvisation project "Theater of Si." The curators of the project are the actor and organizer Salento Joseph Vitale and Canadian actor and teacher Ian Algie. This is the first project of improvisational theater in the land of Brindisi that has ever been created and the second project in Puglia, Lecce in the current year after the initiative of other operators. Still almost del tutto sconosciuta al sud Italia l'improvvisazione teatrale ha fatto ingresso nel sulle scene del Belpaese a partire dal 1989, quando Francesco Burroni importò il primo format d'improvvisazione più rappresentato al mondo per repliche e pubblico: il Match d'improvvisazione teatrale. Patria da cui Burroni lo importò è il Canada dove per opera di Keith Jonhstone da un lato e di Robert Gravel e Yvon Leduc dall'altro, prese piede quella forma di spettacolo teatrale senza copioni, senza regia, senza scenografia (o con scenografia molto scarna) che è l'improvvisazione teatrale. Dagli anni '70 in poi si affermò infatti da una costa all'altra del Canada con un tale successo che ormai è insegnata con capillarità in tutto il paese. Since the 80s then known world-wide success, especially in Francophone and Anglophone countries, thanks partly to the other well-known format such as Theatresports ®.
E ', to that tradition that the actor-improviser and clown Ian Algie draws. Born in Toronto in 1960, a student of Theatre de accomplices, Del Close, Paul Sills, David Shephard and Second City Theatre Improvisation in his city where it has been a teacher of improvisation and coach of various teams.
