Help Bring Shakespeare Improvised to Life
I have completed the first draft of my second book, Shakespeare Improvised.
This book brings all three of my Shakespeare workshops together in one volume. It covers expressive language, metaphor, emotion, movement, status, short-form games, and long-form structures that can take you all the way to a complete improvised play.
But it isn’t an academic textbook or a collection of exercises written like stereo instructions.
I have written it as a conversation—as if you and I were sitting across a table, geeking out about improvisation and Shakespeare. My goal is to make the style approachable for improvisers, actors, and teachers, whether they read the book in a classroom, on an airplane, or at their leisure.
I am preparing a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of $7,000. The money will help pay for professional editing, professional layout, campaign fees, and the production and fulfillment of advance paperbacks, digital editions, and signed copies.
Right now, I am asking people to follow the pre-launch page. Following doesn’t cost anything, and there is no obligation to pledge. It simply helps demonstrate interest in the project and ensures that you will be notified when the campaign begins.
