Video of Summer Salt

Here's a video about our annual summer improv jam -- "Summer Salt".

By the way, this is in no way a concept we "own."

Many summers ago, Kristine Niven had the idea of bringing together some master teachers and organizing a week-long camp in the Catskills for people to explore improvisation.  I think we did this something like 18 years until she finally decided that she'd done it enough.  (She pretty much organized this by herself.)  In the meantime, other outfits started summer improv retreats.  As they had every right to do.

So, if anybody wants to imitate this and start their own versions of Summer Salt, feel free.  And, if you want advice or notes, drop me a line at DGSweet@aol.com.  (A couple of veterans of Summer Salt now run a weekly version of this out of their home in L.A.  And more power to them.)
