Each detailed definition goes beyond the obvious clichés and seeks a nuanced and inclusive understanding of how art of the moment can be much more than easy laughs and cheap gags (even when it is being delightfully irreverent and wildly funny). This encyclopedic work pulls from a wide array of practitioners and practices, finding tensions and commonalities from styles as diverse as Theatresports, Comedysportz, the Harold, narrative long-form, Playback Theatre, and Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed. Entries include nuanced definitions, helpful examples, detailed explorations of the concepts in practice,\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019046093143,"sku":"9781032424064","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032424064.jpg?v=1750779133","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-improv-dictionary-9781032424064","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
