The Art of Play : The New Genre of Interactive Theatre

Rating:
Summary: The Art of Play is a wonderful tool! Very informative!
Review: The Art of Play is a marvelous tool to accompany any artisitic endeavor that involves actors dealing directly and intimately with their audience. I found the techniques in the book to be clear and useful. Nothing extraneous or difficult to understand. Suddenly the world of intereative improvisation makes sense to me. I would recommend this book and it's companion, "Acting Interactive Theater" to anyone who is at all involved with this very popular method of entertainment. This second book really lays out the entire rehearsal process, complete with 150 excercises to get your troupe into shape. Mr. Izzo knows what he is talking about and very obviously has the experience from which to draw his worthy opinions. I have told all of my contemporaries in the interactive theater community as well as teaching colleauges to purchase this book and put it to use immediately. Never before has a book been so clear on this particular area of theater and improvisation. Sincerely, Niomi Lundy, Artistic Director, Parade of Fools Improv and Dinner Shows, New York, NY
