Aerodynamics of Yes: The Improviser's Manual

This book explores the Aerodynamics of Yes as an approach to celebrating one another, building ensemble and getting out of our heads and into our scenes. Good improv can seem magical, but let's not make it more mystical than it is. Stop praying to the improv Gods and take responsibility for what you can control. Sweat the technique, be empowered by it, understand the science and why it works. Then, trust in it, play confidently, and be excellent to each other. Each chapter provides practical guidelines that will add dimension, direction and lift to your improv scenes. Lessons address: Teaching, Teams, Rehearsals, Ensemble, Homework and Exercises, Tending Our Scenes, Improv Fundamentals, and 4Track Form. [From the back cover]
