She is an improvisation and applied improvisation practitioner and scholar working in both academic and professional settings, and she is considered one of the foremost teachers of Keith Johnstone's Impro System. Dudeck is the author of Keith Johnstone: A Critical Biography (Bloomsbury 2013). She received her Ph.D. in Theatre from the University of Oregon.Caitlin McClure has been applying improv to projects inside and outside of the theatre for most of her life.

McClure received her M.A. in Adult Learning and Leadership at Columbia University.Trade ReviewApplied Improvisation is a world-class textbook for those who want to learn how to teach corporate and nonprofit groups improvisation skills. It's also an inspiring idea book for anyone who wants to bring the magic of theatre to their organization. After reading this remarkable work, you'll be eager to start on your own improv adventure. -- Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human, Drive, and A Whole New MindApplied Improvisation triumphantly reveals to us, with passionate and fascinating research, by seasoned practitioners, over and over again how the power of this transformative art form can spread its positive and proactive influence over myriad walks of the human experience. -- Keegan-Michael Key, actor, writer, producer, and alum of The Second CityActors often underestimate the phenomenal personal responsibility required of them when learning improvisation. Applied Improvisation demands a new understanding of what the improviser’s responsibility might be, and as this book brilliantly reveals, it doesn’t need actors or theatre spaces, but a new sense of purpose. This inspirational book will help you find it. -- Geoffrey Colman, Head of Acting, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, UKHaving used applied improvisation for ideation with design teams, I was inspired to read about the myriad other ways it can create positive movement and new practices.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Place Belonging and School Leadership Researching to Make the Difference
Book SynopsisKathryn Riley is Professor of Urban Education at the UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK, and Co-Director of The Art of Possibilities (www.theartofpossibilities.org.uk).Trade ReviewKathryn Riley is here extending what is an increasingly urgent debate about school, both as a place of belonging and as a site of struggle. In the neo-liberal education marketplace, more and more schools are adopting measures, including police in corridors and classrooms, school exclusion and even the banning of parents, to win compliance with school values and ethos by coercion and to operate a regime with a primary focus on punishment and varying degrees of institutional bullying of students. Students have a capacity to do horrible things to one another and to dent their peers’ confidence and sense of safety and wellbeing, especially through their use of social media and threats of violence in and out of school. Kathryn Riley underscores the importance of distributing leadership to the level of students themselves and delivering an essential part of their educational entitlement, i.e., guidance and support for each student in embracing their personal responsibility to act in a manner that helps to make the school a place where all can feel they belong, are valued and can learn and teach in safety and comfort. * Gus John, Visiting Professor, Coventry University, UK *Kathryn Riley's passion and scholarship are powerfully demonstrated throughout her new book. Bringing her life-long commitment to making the world a better place for young people, she creates an inspirational and universally applicable approach to school improvement, richly illustrated, theoretically robust, and eminently practical. * Helen Wildy, Professor of Education, The University of Western Australia, Australia *Table of ContentsForeword, Karen Seashore Louis, University of Minnesota, USA Prologue About the Author Acknowledgements Part I: Place and Belonging in our Volatile World 1.

HarperCollins Focus The Energy Advantage
Book SynopsisHow do you maximize your success and impact as a leader while maintaining your stamina and sanity? The answer doesn’t lie in simple “efficiency.” It’s not about making better use of your time and resources. It’s about understanding how energy works and how to tap into its power.Many people live lives of intense, and false, emotional compartmentalization. For example, they strive to be one person in the corner office (invincible warrior) and another person at the dinner table (sensitive spouse), and they struggle to keep those two lives from bleeding into and contradicting each other. But as it turns out, this takes a tremendous amount of energy and is almost always impossible. One person can’t be two different people.So how do you live an integrated life of fulfillment, purpose, and success? How do you create an alignment between head, heart, and the creative power that is in coherence with your tru
