Description
Book Synopsis
Improvisation teachers have long known that the human mind could be trained to be effortlessly spontaneous and intuitive. Drinko explores what these improvisation teachers knew about improvisation's effects on consciousness and cognition and compares these theories to current findings in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy.Review Quotes
"I found this work to be fascinating and, as an improviser, intuitive and affirming (which is, ultimately, one of the conclusions of the book). While there are many books on improv and many books on the 'mind/thinking/consciousness/how-humans-learn' there aren't many that link these two areas of scholarship. This book fills that gap." - Jeanne Leep, Professor of Theatre Arts, Edgewood College, USA and author of Theatrical Improvisation: Short Form, Long Form, and Sketch-Based Improv
