Les McGehee Plays Well With Others: A "Grown-Up" Handbook of Improvisation and Play (U)

Les McGehee's Plays Well With Others is a breezy how-to book by an improvising pioneer that is part autobiography and part field guide to the life and habits of successful improvisers. It offers rare insights gained through over 20 years of improvisation experience in how to incorporate humour and positive affirmation of in-the-moment opportunities guaranteed to enhance both your business and personal life. With techniques McGehee uses in MBA and government programs, Plays Well With Others provides the basics for the layman and clear advanced tricks of the trade for the professional improviser. Cleverly divided into sections that can be read independently, the reader can delve deep or graze into the fields of play McGehee so clearly describes. It contains autobiographical passages illustrating how the improvisational life works, an annotated list of classic improvisation games for business and entertainment, diary entries of improvisation tours, statistical references on the successful implementation of improvisational techniques in business, and recommendations on how to further your improvisation education locally, nationally, and internationally.
