It's a book about improv but it's also the most insightful thing I've ever read about human social behavior. Even if you have no interest in acting, it will help you understand yourself and others.
- mesaframe 5y agoI felt it was more of an advertisment book than anything else. Author kept on praising his technique after every other paragraph or so.
- lkrubner 5y agoThis book is fantastic. Keith Johnstone was at the heart of the London improv scene in the 1960s when groups like Monty Python's Flying Circus were emerging. I used to attend a lot of improv workshops and the professional actors I knew all recommended this book to me.

- melvinroest 5y agoThere's one concept in that book about redirecting responsibility. I think it was a tangential remark, but the idea that one could redirect responsibility by simply claiming that someone else was doing xyz as opposed to you was illuminating. I think it had to do with making people at ease.
