Improvise - Scene from the inside out

Improvise: Scene from the Inside Out
Mick Napier
Heinemann Drama - 15.95 USD

This recent little book is a gem: it's Mick Napier's personal take on what Improv is and how it should/could be done.

The book is not for absolute beginners. Napier assumes a basic knowledge of and/or experience with Improv, and dives right in with a set of rules, only to conclude that the rules are irrelevant.

You may or may not agree with Napier's take on things, but as he states himself somewhere in the book, there are various approaches to Improv, and none of them are right and none of them are wrong: every approach has helped someone at some time improve their work. Napier's approach will probably improve yours as well.

Absolutely recommended!
