Creating Improvised Theatre: Tools, Techniques, and Theories for Short Form and Narrative Improvisation de Mark Jane

Creating Improvised Theatre: Tools, Techniques, and Theories for Short Form and Narrative Improvisation

Autor Mark Jane
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 aug 2021

Creating Improvised Theatre: Tools, Techniques, and Theories for Short Form and Narrative Improvisation is a complete guide to improvised theatre for performers and instructors.

This book provides a modern view of improvised theatre based on the rapid evolution of this art form, shedding new light on classic theories as well as developing lesser known and emerging techniques, such as the Trance Mask. Instead of simply referencing classic theories, the book revisits them and places them in the context of contemporary improvisation techniques. Designed as a practical support, this guide contains over 130 exercises that allow its theories to come alive in workshops, rehearsals, and performance. The book is divided into four sections:

  • Nuts and bolts: The fundamental tools of improvisation to explore how to be spontaneously creative, build with your partner, and learn from masks to discover your scene instant by instant.

  • Short form: Techniques for scene work and short form performance, including how to get the most out of a scene, remain connected to the relational stakes, provoke change (physical, status, and emotional), and maintain a playful attitude.

  • Narrative improvisation: Theories to help navigate long form narrative-based shows with narrative waypoints, generate variety, develop protagonists, work on genres, and manipulate creative transitions.

  • The bits box: Advice for warming-up before a rehearsal or a show with a collection of useful games.

Written to inspire creativity and provide the tools to develop innovative improvised shows and experiences, Creating Improvised Theatre is an invaluable source book for anyone interested in the art of improvised theatre, whether a beginning student or experienced performer.
