Description
Keith Johnstone's work in theatre began in 1956, when he was commissioned to write a play for the Royal Court Theatre. Over the years, he developed improvisatory techniques and exercises that fostered spontaneity and narrative skills. These were further refined in his work with actors, in demonstrations to schools and colleges, and in the founding of The Theatre Machine company. The book, divided into four sections, sets out the specific techniques and exercises that Johnstone has found most useful and stimulating. It is both an ideas book and a fascinating exploration of the nature of spontaneous creativity. The result is a comprehensive guide to improvisation and the theatre, covering the key skills and approaches that have been developed over the years. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in improvisation and the theatre, offering practical advice and insights into the nature of spontaneous creativity.
