The Improvisation Game
by Chris Johnston
A fascinating investigation into the
wellsprings of improvisation in theatre, dance and music, from the author
of the influential House of Games.
Packed with exercises and practical
techniques, The Improvisation Game explores how improvisation
can be used both to create performance and as an end in itself.
It reveals the techniques, structures
and methods used by key practitioners in the field of improvised drama,
music and dance.
The book also looks at many famous traditions,
events and performances with improvisation at their core, ranging from
the Living Theatre to the Scratch Orchestra, from John Cage to Lenny
Bruce, and seeks to draw out their significance in the always evolving
world of improvisation.
“essential reading... a source
of inspiration and a great toolbook for budding devised theatre makers.”
