Week two and it's focus on improvisation was enlightening. The material provided in the text about improvisational methods (by list) was a new way to categorize the approach to teaching this technique to students. As a high school student learning to improvise, I once studied a book that focused on the whole-brain/thought process. I saw a lot of similarities between that book and the Kratus list in the reading. As I posted on the discussion board for the class, I drew the parallel between the two methods and came to the self-assessed conclusion that the Kratus list provides a broader spectrum in which all of the activities would fit within.
The online programs are interesting and can be useful, but I am not connecting the technology to improvisation. This appears to be geared toward arrangement, open creativity, and things of this nature.
