YesAnd.com - 17.95 USD
Asaf Ronen is the man behind YesAnd.com , and this book is his first. While there are plenty of books on how to improvize, this one is the only one that gives some guidance on how to direct improvizers. That fact alone makes the book a must-have.
Chapters cover a multitude of topics including giving notes, sidecoaching, working with children, and dealing with troupe member issues.
Throughout the book are tips and anecdotes from such respected improv luminaries as Armando Diaz, Michael Gellman, Kevin Mullaney, Mick Napier, Dan O`Connor, Shira Piven, Gary Schwartz, Todd Stashwick, and many more.
