Going Long: The Art of Long-Form Improvisation for Stage and Screen

Jo McGinley

4.9/5 (26053 ratings)

Description:Improvisational comedy has exploded over the last several decades, a wildly popular genre that can be found everywhere from venues like The Second City and Upright Citizen’s Brigade to college campuses and corporate retreats. But there’s more to improv than the short, jokey, and game-based version that has become familiar to audiences. In fact, the quick-witted, gag-focused approach of shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway? is of little help when it comes to successfully pulling off long-form improvisation. Long-form provides exciting new challenges and opportunities for improvisational performers that go far beyond simple comedy—but it demands an entirely different skill set, careful preparation, and genuine courage. Drawing on author Jo McGinley’s more than 30 years of experience onstage and in the classroom, Going Long provides a clear and practical framework for both beginning and experienced improvisers. It includes mental exercises specifically developed for long-form work, best practices for rehearsals and collaboration, techniques for connecting with the audience, and principles for making in-the- moment decisions that support an overarching narrative. It also includes tips on specific genres tales—that show how to use familiar narrative conventions and produce a memorable, engaging, and even moving improvised story.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
