I just listened to Joe Bill’s Improv Resource Center podcast. I think the guy is a genius and that his general thrust is on the money. He is also a magnificent performer.

My concern is that he doesnt seem to be able to communicate his philosophies very well. My deeper concern is that he takes a certain pride in his theories being so high-minded that they are inaccessible to most improvisers. This makes him seem intelligent and mysterious, but I am not sure that it makes improvisers become better improvisers. Dunno. Just a suspicion. Anyone studied with this dude?
