Improv tools for everyday life

Amy Lisewski connects exercises from improvisational performance with everyday situations, presenting improv as a way to practice greater openness and confidence. The book combines selected exercises with examples drawn from students’ experiences, linking the work done in performance settings to changes in outlook and daily life. Its stated scope extends beyond aspiring performers: improvisation is presented here as a practice accessible to people without acting or comedy experience, including introverts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People curious about applying improvisation exercises outside the performing arts
  • Readers interested in practical approaches to confidence and openness
  • Introverts seeking a book that explicitly includes them among its intended audience

Book overview

What if I told you that you would be happier and more confident if you planned less and made stuff up more? The tools improvisers use to create wonderful-and often hilarious-scenes on stage are easily transferred off the stage and into real life. These tools have changed my life completely, and I want to share that with you. In this book, you'll find some of our favorite improv exercises as well as real-life examples of how our students' mind-sets and lives have grown and become ultimately fulfilling through practicing improvisation. This book was not written for natural-born performers, comedians, or people with "talent." It's for everyone, including introverts like you and me. (Yes, I'm an introvert at heart.) If we aren't happy with our lives, not much else matters. I want to see you living the life you are meant to live, now. I want you to experience true happiness; and practicing improvisation is the most enjoyable, and fun, way to get there.
