4.0 out of 5 stars Bible of improvisation, March 28, 2001

This review is from: Theatresports Down Under (Paperback)

If you are teaching or anyway involved with improvisation or theatresports, this book contains all you need to know.

Exercises and their aim or focus is well and clear presented. But still there is room for your own variations and ways to use them. Of course you must have experience in theatrework, if you are going to use Theatre sports down under, but I believe that it is suitable also for amateurs.

Only weakness is that the chapter of warm up games is quite small and in fact is just a collection of old wellknown games. So in that part there is nothing new

I highly recommend this book..

This review is from: Theatresports Down Under (Paperback)

I came across this book in Australia this past summer while I was visiting a teacher friend. This has a fabulous step-by-step approach to introducing theatresports to junior and senior high school students, with appropriate referencing to the master, Keith Johnston. It's difficult to get in North America, but well worth the effort, especially if you have to teach drama and aren't particularly prepapred to do so!
