This guide to improvisation and character development is a complete improv curriculum program divided into twenty class-length workshops. Each workshop contains carefully selected exercises designed to help students focus on one aspect of a character's personality. Learn how to create characters from your own imagination through the use of solo and ensemble pantomime, physical adroitness, vocal techniques, props, and more. Gestures, facial expressions, voice and body language are studied separately. Many ensemble sketches are included. 135-page photo/illustrated paperback.
