Rezensionen

"I found this work to be fascinating and, as an improviser, intuitive and affirming (which is, ultimately, one of the conclusions of the book).

This book fills that gap." - Jeanne Leep, Professor of Theatre Arts, Edgewood College, USA and author of Theatrical Improvisation: Short Form, Long Form, and Sketch-Based Improv
