Books by Chris Johnston

A dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book for teachers and workshop leaders working with difficult or reluctant students, youth groups, young offenders, and all those who seem intent on saying 'no' to whatever is offered them.

Following on from Keith Johnstone's famous "Impro" and Augusto Boal's "Games for Actors and Non-Actors", this book provides ideas and guidance for drama groups of various kinds. It is intended for teachers, theatre directors, and drama workshop leaders.

Features an investigation - with exercises and techniques - into the wellsprings of improvisation in theatre, dance and music by the author of "House of Games". This book also looks at many famous shows, events and performers with improvisation at their core, ranging from "Commedia dell' Arte" to "The Living Theatre", John Cage, and Lenny Bruce.
