While there are dozens of books on how to improvise, there's not one that shows directors how to pass that information on, until now. Asaf Ronen, editor-in-chief of YESand and an improviser of fifteen years shows his personal techniques for directing, coaching and teaching. Chapters cover a multitude of topics including giving notes, sidecoaching, working with children, and dealing with troupe member issues. Throughout the book are tips and anecdotes from such respected improv luminaries as Armando Diaz, Michael Gellman, Kevin Mullaney, Mick Napier, Dan O'Connor, Shira Piven, Gary Schwartz, Todd Stashwick, and many more.
