Rezensionen

"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
