Synopsis
For the first time, a Spolin guide for the individual actor to side-coach themselves Viola Spolin's Theater Games for the Lone Actor offers theater games and side coaching for the solo player. This handbook presents more than forty exercises that allow actors to side coach themselves at home, in rehearsal, or in performance. Building on her seminal Improvisation for the Theater, Spolin challenges the actor to develop an ability to enter present time, "a moment of full consciousness, awareness, continuous time, a timeless moment...with all of your responses awake and alert, ready to guide you... allowing you, the real you, your natural self, to emerge." Spolin's improvisational techniques changed the nature and practice of modern theater. Her work has inspired actors, directors, teachers, and writers in theater, television, and film. Her techniques have also influenced the fields of education, mental health, social work, and psychology., Viola Spolin's Theater Games for the Lone Actor offers theater games and side coaching for the solo player.

    I bought 3 items in the same transaction with the same seller. GREAT EXPERIENCE. All three (Spaceballs BR, Robot Chicken Star Wars 3 DVD & Star Wars Trilogy BR/DVD combo) arrived in excellent condition, just as described. Good packaging. NOT THE SELLER’S FAULT, but it took over 19 days to arrive to Mexico City. Shipping is slow to my country from the US. And expensive. It helped a little to buy them altogether.

    VERY impressed with this seller!! I reached out before purchasing the DVD, and they answered me within a day. Friendly communication. Lightning fast shipping. And the DVD itself was as described--brand new and still in its original shrink wrap. I'm so grateful to have such a beautiful copy of this disc, thanks to this awesome seller! Thank you so much!!
