Yesterday, I interviewed Mr. Brook Sylvan of the NAIADES Improv Coven. The resulting interview should run in the near future on Improvland.
Mr. Sylvan’s troupe is, potentially, the world’s first nude improv company. The nudity in and of itself isn’t quite as exciting as the reasons for why the performers are going to be nude. You can find some details at his site (link above) and in the interview.
Anyhow, the main thing about the troupe that is exciting is that he hopes to do emotionally raw, risky improvisation. This is to be encouraged, and I hope that I can visit him and his group in L.A. so I can see the work he creates!
