Improvisation: Discovery and Creativity in Drama

By Ernest Richards and John Hodgson

First published in 1966, Improvisation embodies a revolutionary approach to the production of a play and the teaching of drama. It illustrates the way in which improvised dramatic situations help people to draw upon their imaginative resources and to extend awareness of themselves and others. It shows that drama can be a community activity that is deeply influential. The authors make many practical suggestions for situations and subjects upon which an improvisation may be built.
