Founder and Executive Artistic Director for The Brothers Grinn, an interactive improvisational storytelling troupe from 1994-2006, I now tell solo. I received a Masters in Oral Traditions in August 2007 and a Masters in Educational Theater in May 2005. A full time Drama teacher, I incorporate storytelling in my classes and in workshops across the country. I've written a play steeped in the oral traditions that is waiting to be produced and I tell many tales that I "begat" during and after my years of Grinn.
The big guy in the pic with me is Bob. He's a Professional Ogre. He tours on his own, eats the unruly, despairs at the lovelorn, and fumigates daily.

Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear the world is just way too small! I don't know how much time I'll have to really be part of this whole thing, but it sounded like something I should check out - hope all is well with you! "Talk" soon! Julie
I have always enjoyed improv. While at Brigham Young University, one of the most popular groups was Divine Comedy who did improv. You had to arrive early to even get a seat.
If you have read any of the "Fablehaven" books, the author--Brandon Mull, was part of Divine Comedy. We had some classes together for our Communications majors. I saw him again at a Children's Literature forum a week ago.
For the BYU Storytelling Club, we used improv games all the time to work on our skills. Whenever I attend the National Youth Storytelling Showcase in Pigeon Forge, TN, there is a tradition of having an all-nighter of storytelling games on the last night of the event with the youth tellers.
Rixon Lane--who is on this site--inspired an advanced storytelling game called "Tell-off". I have a feeling you would appreciate it.

Perhaps we can exchange improv games.
Until we tell again,

When things slow down a bit, and you're over the bug, maybe we can find time to 'talk' a bit online.
Take Care,
Tom
