Action Theater: The Improvisation of Presence

Rating:
Summary: An exploration into movement, improvisation, and creativity.
Review: Unforgettable. This book is destined to become a classic. Ruth Zaporah is a master storyteller who doesn't so much "teach" improvisation as learn it with you. Based upon her experiences as a dancer and a dance teacher, her "Action Theater" system takes you through twenty stages of self-exploration that examine form, movement, and breath, among other things. As an artist, I appreciate Zaporah's ability to use her medium as a means of cutting through to the deeper levels of spiritual significance. This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in the creative process.
