Book Review: Just do it
Summary: 5 Stars
I've recently discovered improvisation. As a tai chi instructor I've found improv fits in perfectly with my other training. It teaches you to find a way to say yes to what is offered you, good and bad. It helps put you in control of your own life.
Summary of Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre
Impro ought to be required reading not only for theatre people generally but also for teachers, educators, and students of all kinds and persuasions. Readers of this book are not going to agree with everything in it; but if they are not challenged by it, if they do not ultimately succumb to its wisdom and whimsicality, they are in a very sad state indeed . . . .Johnstone seeks to liberate the imagination, to cultivate in the adult the creative power of the child . . . .Deserves to be widely read and tested in the classroom and rehearsal hall . . .Full of excellent good sense, actual observations and inspired assertions -- CHOICE: Books for College Libraries.Acting & Auditioning Books
