The Improv Performance Manual

From the first visit to an improvisational theater class in high school, author Nathan "Nate" Truman knew he had found his "people!" Spanning a career of countless TV shows, movies and live theater experiences, Nate has collected the show stoppers for live improv performances, and a "how to" approach to make them available to the beginning student, with advanced homework and techniques that will help launch the seasoned performer in new directions. Whether you are in front of the camera or behind it, or go into any non-performing line of work, the skills you can learn from improvisational theater will help you gain confidence for public speaking, fast thinking and decision making in any walk of life. These are the classic forms used in Improv classes, and can be used to mount a live improv comedy show, or just for a fun time with you and a few friends for a crazy game night!
