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.

    The book was in fantastic condition for its age. I wasn’t keen about it being shipped in a plastic bag, no box. If I’d known that, I would have gladly paid more for shipping. That said, it did miraculously arrive in great condition. I would recommend this seller, but perhaps communicate/be willing to pay more for shipping in a box next time.

    Book was in condition described at a great price, although it received minor damage during shipping due to being unprotected in a mylar envelope instead of a box. Fast shipping. Another smooth transaction from a consistently outstanding seller. Recommended!
