Rezensionen

"In The Improv Dictionary, Charles shares what he has learned in a unique way: He has arranged the art form's tactics and philosophies into a dictionary format, explaining such terms as "bulldozing" (strong-arming your partners into going along with your vision for a scene, a practice that is frowned upon) in succinct, easily navigable chunks. What's more, Charles has tried to nudge the conversation on improv forward by pursuing a more modern, culturally inclusive approach that he feels is wholly in keeping with the collaborative nature of the genre itself."
