""A perfect antidote to the lust to get improv 'right' - this book is a great guide for improvisers and the impro-curious alike."" merrileem (Amazon) ""This book is fantastic! It's insightful and relatable, a breath of fresh air for anyone who has been exposed to the world of improv for awhile. Patti's uniquely freewheeling approach to improvisation says the rules take a back seat to other things that are way more important. And that resonates with me big time. What are those other things? You'll have to read for yourself!"" Amazon customer ""This book is a must-read for all improvisers and creative humans. Patti debunks myths, questions rules and hot-wires us back to our authentic imaginative selves. As well as inviting us to look at our habits and defaults, she raises a battle cry to adventure, meaningful storytelling and, critically, the power of supportive collaboration. Drawing on years of experience and a passion for play, she interrogates behaviours and inspires us to evolve as people and artists. So often performers look inwards and get lost in their own process or worry about who they think they should be. Patti invites us to focus outwards to our fellow players, to empower and support them and in so doing, surprise and enlarge ourselves. She reminds us to take responsibility for the stories we tell and the way we interact with others, the communities we create and the spaces we share. Political, profound, mischievous and maverick, 'Improvise Freely' raises the bar for improvisers and improvisation everywhere."" Sarah-Louise Young (Amazon)
