Let's Improvise: Becoming Creative Expressive and Spontaneous Through Drama

By Milton E. Polsky

Beginning with simple sensory-awareness exercises in a relaxed atmosphere, and moving through pantomime and role playing to longer skits, Let's Improvise emphasises self-discovery through doing. Through hundreds of exercises that encourage personal and social growth you will feel free to create - to transform an ordinary idea into a celebration of life: to "try on" a variety of characters from life and literature: to take creative risks; to test and revise your thoughts, feelings, and values: to lose your inhibitions and build confidence and cooperation through teamwork - and much more.

Packed With Good Ideas!

I used this book years ago when I first started teaching Creative Dramatics. I found it extremely helpful then. I couldn't find my old copy and purchased it again when I decided to take on a group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. This book was like an old friend. It got me started and inspired me to come up with new ideas. I have worked with all ages. This book has good material for little ones, and I've used some of the ideas with middle school ages. I recommend it for someone getting started in Creative Dramatics, but it's also useful for the more experienced.
