Summary/Abstract: The author interviews Andrew Hefler, an American-born improvisational theatre artist, on the occasion of the Tomcsa Sándor Theatre’s improvisational performance Afterparty. Andrew Hefler encountered Viola Spolin’s practical methods as a child and was later strongly inspired by the ideas of Keith Johnstone. The interview explores Hefler’s relationship with music, film and theatre, too, but it focuses primarily on exploring his theatrical thinking, which has at its core the idea that theatre should not be a safe space, and it has real stakes only when creators dare to lose.
