This collection of Applied Improvisation stories and strategies draws back the curtain on an exciting, innovative, growing field of practice and research that is changing the way people lead, create, and collaborate. Applied Improvisation is the umbrella term widely used to denote the application of improvised theatre's theories, tenets, games, techniques, and exercises beyond conventional theatre spaces, to foster the growth and/or development of flexible structures, new mindsets, and a range of inter and intra-personal skills required in today's volatile and uncertain world. This edited collection offers one of the first surveys of the range of practice, featuring 12 in-depth case studies ...
How can the practice of improvisation become the lens through which we view the world? The Applied Improvisation Mindset takes readers deep into the maturing field of Applied Improvisation (AI), with stories of 18 practitioners from five countries who embrace an improvisation mindset to create a more collaborative, equitable, sustainable, and joyous world. Myriad organizations have discovered how the mindset and skills applied by great improvisers onstage can reveal emergent, generative ways of interacting with others offstage. With case studies on developing presentation skills, reducing anxiety in teens, or preparing climate risk managers across the globe for the challenges ahead, this second volume serves as a valuable resource for both experienced and new AI facilitators. It is a primer for higher education and K-12 faculty combatting traditional teaching limitations and a practical “how to” for theatre practitioners, artists, educators, or anyone seeking to transform their organizations and communities.

Egyre változékonyabb világunkban és a folyamatos túlterheltség miatt frusztráltak vagyunk, folyton igyekszünk utolérni magunkat. Az összetett projektek, a munkahelyi és otthoni elvárások kimerítőek, a végsőkig kifacsarjuk magunkat. Ezért a probléma valós természetére való nyitottság és a nyugodt megfontoltság ̶ a nemcselekvés ̶̶ helyett a „cselekvést” választjuk, amely sokszor inkább látszólagos haladást, kapkodást és küszködést jelent. Ez nemcsak hogy kevésbé hatékony és hosszú távon fenntarthatatlan, de végül mindenképpen stresszhez, szorongáshoz és kiégéshez vezet. Steven D’Souza és Diana Renner nemzetközileg elismert tanácsadók, A nemtudás című bestseller szerzői, érdekes történetekben bővelkedő könyvükben feltérképezik a „cselekvés” határait és veszélyeit. Vizuálisan is megjelenített gondolataikból magunk is ráébredünk, hogyan hatja át a folytonos tenni akarás életünk minden területét, és hogyan kell elképzelni az aktív nemcselekvést, amelynek köszönhetően mindennapi életünk sokkal inkább a harmóniáról és a kreativitásról szólhat.

Bu, arkana yaslanıp olayların başına gelmesine izin vermek anlamına gelmiyor. Aksine, daha cesur ve daha ilham verici bir şeyi ifade ediyor: Durumun enerjisiyle birlikte, çevreyle uyum içinde ve sınırlı kaynakları en iyi şekilde kullanarak işlev göstermek. Deneyin. YAPMAMAK. Şimdiye kadar yaptığınız en iyi şey olabilir.” Daniel Pink, Drive’ın yazarı
