Far more than simply an overview of improv comedy, this book helps actors, writers and comedians learn the basics as taught in all the major comedy schools. First, the do's and don'ts of the Comedy Improv Commandments. The concepts that, when understood, hit the student like falling anvils: Anvil 1: Collaboration -- Working with the 'Group Mind', Anvil 2: Agreement -- 'Just say Yes', Anvil 3: Foundation -- 'Who, What and Where, Anvil 4: Exploring -- 'Finding the Game'. Successful improv requires the skill of the actor, the talent of the comedian and the ideas of the writer rolled into one. This book tells how it can all be done for performers or teachers.

The most comprehensive, smart, helpful and inspiring guide to improve available today. Applicable to comedians, actors, public speakers and anyone who needs to think on their toes. From The Improv Handbook: The problem for improvisers is anxiety. faced with a lot of nameless eyes staring at us, and feeling more than anything else like prey, we are likely to want to display very consistent behavior, so that anyone who looks at us, looks away and then looks back sees the same thing. Thus we become boring, we fade into the background, and we cease to be of interest. The Improv Handbook provides everything someone interested in improvisational comedy needs to know, as written by a husband and wife comedy duo with years of experience and teaching in the field. in addition to providing a comprehensive history of improvisational theater as a backdrop, it also looks at modern theories and practices of improvisation on a global scale, including how the form of comedy has evolved differently in different parts of the world, from Europe to the UK to the Chicago scene. The Improv Handbook also contains an essential performance segment that details different formats of improvisation. Chapter topics include Theatresports, Micetro, Gorilla Theatre, and the inventions of Keith Johnstone and Del Close as well as other popular forms of improv, like those on "Whose Line is it Anyway." The core section of the book is called simply, "How to Improvise" and delves into issues of spontaneity, the fundamentals of storytelling, working together, upping the ante, and character development. The book concludes with sections on how to improvise in front of an audience and- just as crucially- how to attract an audience in the first place.

The standard reference for actors, singers, and dancers, The Back Stage Handbook for Performing Artists has been totally updated to guide tomorrow's stage, radio, TV, and film personalities to employment and success. This thoroughly rewritten, improved edition is the first to focus upon job-hunting and employment opportunities in a wide range of performance fields. The reader will harvest essential information and vital tips on jobs in summer stock, regional theatre, children's theatre, and more; expanding career possibilities in non-broadcast media such as audiotapes and CD-ROM; working in soap opera, radio, industrial shows, and student films; areas of interest for singers, such as cabaret and performing commercial jingles; opportunities for stand-up comics and other solo performers; sources of income, such as voice-overs, that can develop into lucrative careers; and employment at theme parks, in museums, and on cruise ships. These performance fields - some of them explored here for the first time in any book - are examined in essays originally prepared for the performance arts weekly Back Stage. In each essay, show-biz experts share their knowledge on how to find a break and nurture a career with confidence. Their advice is supplemented by resource listings of names, addresses, and phone numbers of agents, managers, union offices, and producing organizations - the people who hire, promote, and foster the careers of performers. There is even advice on how talented people can avoid being taken advantage of in the rough-and-tumble business side of the performing arts.
