Improvisation for the Theater: A Handbook of Teaching and Directing Techniques Paperback – August 24, 2017

From 1960 to 1965 Spolin she worked with her son Paul Sills as workshop director for the Second City Company and continued to teach and develop Theater Games theory and practice. As an outgrowth of this work, she published Improvisation for the Theater, consisting of approximately 220 games and exercises. It has become a classic reference text for teachers of acting, as well as for educators in other fields.

this is the book that changed my path in theatre arts to improvisation...recent buy was to replace my tattered copy.

This is a reproduction of the first edition as originally published in 1963 and does not includes Spolin's essential discoveries made after 1963. This is not an authorized publication by her publisher. It is of historic interest if you cannot find a used first-edition cheaper (but I think you probably can). If you are using Spolin's work in the classroom or rehearsal you absolutely need the 3rd edition authorized by her and published by Northwestern University Press.

Great book. Excellent condition.
