AINx-Talks's video: Gary Schwartz on Spolin - Gary Schwartz

Viola Spolin pioneered improvisation training which changed the culture of entertainment and the arts in the 20th century. Her work goes beyond that. It is a map that points to a fundamental change in the way we can interact with each other spontaneously without fear, or artifice. I will profile Spolin and talk about where her work can lead us in the future.
