This is an excellent text for teachers of improv (particularly in schools). For the practitioner, it acts more as an encyclopaedia of potential activities and approaches than a handbook on how to learn and perform improv.
I enjoyed the stories Pierse included in the examples, both of her own work and of the Australian improv community. I would like to see more of these in a future edition!
