An essential book

Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre
by Keith Johnstone

This book ought to be read by EVERYBODY, not just people interested in theater. It discusses the ways that education harms us and ways to make life full and colorful. It examines the ways that we become blocked emotionally and imaginatively, and gives exercises to free us. The chapters on Mask and trance are amazing.

I can't imagine a person reading this book and not being changed for the better.
