Aerodynamics of Yes

by Christian Capozzoli, Emily Davis (Editor), Eliza Kingsbury (Illustrator)

This book explores the Aerodynamics of Yes as an approach to celebrating one another, building ensemble and getting out of our heads and into our scenes.

Good improv can seem magical, but let’s not make it more mystical than it is. Stop praying to the improv gods and take responsibility for what you can control. Sweat the technique, be empowered by it, study, be hard on yourself, understand the science and why it works. Then, trust in it, play confidently, and be excellent to each other.

[Evan Barden · Rating 4 out of 5]

Christian's book is a quick read, providing fun and effective methods for improvising on a deeper level. I love that he treats it with the love and seriousness that improv deserves.

[Thiago Bremm · Rating 4 out of 5]

Inspiring, but often feels too self indulged in the presumed power of metaphors and analogies. A nice reading in general.

I hope this comes out in print form. I loved the book and the analogies the author uses to show what good improv is like to perform.

Awesome

Great book focusing on support and agreement in improv. As a new teacher, I found this book helpful in identifying problems my students are facing as well as exercises to address these issues.
