Description

This exclusive material is brought to you by the impressively-spontaneous but not spazzy-weird-get-away-from-me-hyper-“Robin Williams”-style talented members of the”Acting, Presence, and Improv” GB.I know it was a long time ago but this amazing book took forever to order…we had problems…all in all there must have been a curse on the GB…Anyway, here it is:Improvisation – The GuideIn a typically Australian nuts and bolts sort of fashion, Pierse breaks down the craft of improvisation into seven fundamental challenges: making an offer, finding the focus, advancing and extending the narrative, endowment, status, making a transition, and developing a character. For each challenge she explores the foundation skills required, how to use them to make scenes, before exploring them in performance games. It’s a basic approach Lyn Pierse has used to teach improvisation to everyone from kids to award winning actors. It’s not just a must-have resource book, it’s a curriculum in itself.
