This work has inspired the work of countless actors, directors, and
writers in theatre, television and film. Spolin's improvisational
techniques have changed the very nature and practice of modern
theatre. This third edition updates the more than 200 now-classic
exercises and adds 30 new ones. It adds 30 traditional theatre
games that are frequently used as warm-ups. It includes Spolin's
explanations of key concepts crucial to her programme, and collects
"The Sayings of Viola Spolin" and adds a glossary of phrases for
teachers and directors, with Spolin's definitions of their meaning
and value. Most significantly, though, this edition makes available
"The Lone Actor". In this section, Spolin offers games for
individuals to play when they are alone. It is an important piece
that should expand Spolin's teachings and influence to an entirely
new audience.
Viola Spolin's Theater Games for the Lone Actor offers theater
games and side coaching for the solo player. Available for the
first time, this handbook presents more than forty exercises that
allow actors to side coach themselves at home, in rehearsal, or in
performance. Building on her seminal Improvisation for the Theater,
Spolin challenges the actor to develop an ability to enter present
time, "a moment of full consciousness, awareness, continuous time,
a timeless moment . . . with all of your responses awake and alert,
ready to guide you . . . allowing you, the real you, your natural
self, to emerge."
Spolin's improvisational techniques changed the nature and practice
of modern theater. Her work has inspired actors, directors,
teachers, and writers in theater, television, and film. Her
techniques have also influenced the fields of education, mental
health, social work, and psychology.
