Hello, welcome to the New Improv Page
Thanks to Johnnie Moore at the Applied Improv Blog for sending people this way.
The thought of visitors made me think it might be useful to introduce the site a little.
There are two things I do here at the New Improv Page. One is this blog. I generally post very short, informational items about improv festivals and improv-related books or tv shows, movies, etc. And I post short lists of groups that I've added to the Groups pages.
Which segues to the other thing I do: lists. Lists and lists of links. The most traffic on the site comes to the list of links to lists of Improv Games. The next stop for many people are the lists of websites of Improv Groups, which are divided into three lists, one for the United States (organized by state), Canada (by province) and the Rest of the World (by country). Altogether, I have over 1000 groups listed, and if your group has a website and you don't see it listed, there's an easy form to alert me to your group.
There's also a Bibliography, which is extensive for Books and light on Audio and Video. And I keep an up-to-date list of upcoming Improv Events and Festivals.
Welcome and enjoy!
