The importance of play and fun to people's lives cannot be stressed
enough in today's cultural climate of high stress, high stakes, and
competition. One activity that gains recognition and credibility as
both fun and transformative is theatrical improvisation or improv.
In this book, Ruth Yamamoto reviews her research on the influences
of improvisation on community college students. Educators, theatre
artists, improvisers, or anyone interested building community,
developing self-awareness, and affecting positive social change
will want to read this book. Dr. Yamamoto examines the principles
of improvisation and the concepts of play and flow to add
credibility to a craft and practice that is often viewed a
frivolous and silly. Ruth Yamamoto extends her research through
interviews with applied improvisation professionals, examples and
suggestions of games and exercises, and provides solid evidence of
the serious, positive benefits of improvisation.
