The Improv Dictionary: An A to Z of Improvisational Terms, Techniques, and Tools delves into the realm of improvisational approaches and concepts, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of movements and schools of thought. This comprehensive resource aims to enhance spontaneous and collaborative creativity, unveiling the inherited wisdoms embedded within the language used to describe modern improvisational art. Each definition in this encyclopedic work goes beyond mere clichés, seeking to provide a nuanced and inclusive understanding of how the art of the moment can transcend mere laughter and cheap gags, even when it exhibits delightful irreverence and wild humor.
This extensive work draws from a wide range of practitioners and practices, uncovering tensions and commonalities across styles such as Theatresports, Comedysportz, the Harold, narrative long-form, Playback Theatre, and Boals Theatre of the Oppressed. Entries feature detailed definitions, practical examples, in-depth explorations of the concepts in practice, and framing quotes from renowned practitioners or inspirational artistic voices.
The Improv Dictionary serves as a valuable resource for novice improvisers embarking on their journey, seasoned performers seeking to unlock new levels of abandonment, instructors seeking a comprehensive resource, and scholars exploring the interdisciplinary connections between collaborative and guided play. Each significant entry in the book is accompanied by an accompanying improv game or exercise located at www.improvdr.com, allowing readers to delve deeper into their improvisational process.
