- Title
Regina: The Little City with a Wild Side.
- Authors
Macdonald, Daniel
- Abstract
This article focuses on the impact improvisation at the high school level has had on professional performance in Regina (and elsewhere) over the past twenty-five years. Regina is unique in that it is a small city with a large reputation when it comes to improvisation, rooted in the high school competitive improv format created by the Canadian Improv Games. The article traces the work of several Regina artists, all of whom were actively involved as high school students in the CIG format, and examines the kind of theatrical innovations these artists have designed in part as a result of their background in improv. The article examines the non-scripted element of theatrical creation and explores the effect improvisation has had on one film artist in particular as well as the educational and nurturing impact improvisation has had on students in general.
