Episode 38: Bill Arnett on Improv after covid

Bill Arnett has been improvising in Chicago since 1998. As a teacher Bill has taught consistently around Chicago and traveled internationally, including 18 months as the Training Center Director at the iO. In 2016 Bill published a book, The Complete Improviser, and started the Chicago Improv Studio to explore new techniques for teaching and performing long form improv. Bill and I talk about how Covid affected the improv community in Chicago, to have someone to look up to and the importance of having the same mental framework. We talk about to live in the simple reality, finding the emotions and that all scenes are possible to play. We are also talking about Taxi Driver, ice cream and to speak loudly at the library.
