Improv Nerd: April 2010
http://www.improvnerd.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 1, 2010. Recording Live Improv Performances. I'm looking for a way to record video of live improv performances, and of practices. This means I have to deal with high-contrast stage lighting. For example, the video of our last Six Wheel Drive Show has great detail on the black velvet backdrop curtains, but at the expense of having the performers often appear washed out. I'm looking for a camcorder of some sort. The features I'm looking for are:. Flash memory based, possibly using SD Cards.

http://www.improvnerd.com/2010/11/real-rules-of-improv.html
Saturday, November 20, 2010. The Real Rules of Improv. If you've improvised for any length of time, you've run across "the rules". Agree, accept, avoid transaction scenes, etc. In his book Improvise: Scene From the Inside Out. Mick Napier makes a strong case that these rules are lies. And actually lead to bad. But over the years, I have discovered a few real. Rules of improv. And they're really important. So i'm sharing them here. First and foremost, nobody gets hurt. Show, and our audience loves it!
