FABULOUS READ!By improv teachAn essential book for anyone interested in improvisation; performance or simply living with more zest and attention.Ruth Zaporah is a master teacher on the page; as shes been in dance and acting studios around the world for decades. Her stories -- ranging from experiments in Shamanism; to shaking off the awkwardness of childhood with dance; to visiting far flung; war torn places as a performer -- are beautifully and dramatically told and also ultimately add up to much more than a series of vignettes.This book is an eloquent; poetic but grounded and detailed vision into what it means to truly live inside each day; each hour; each moment with a lively; curious awareness. Every story or essay is a opportunity for Zaporah to do what she does best; tackle the big questions. She deftly; gently invites us think about who we are and the fluid nature of identity. And; together with readers; she finds joy in the infinite answers to those questions. A pleasure to read; and read and read again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A rare and beautiful book which is a testiment to the genius of Ruth Zaporah; who created Action Theater ImprovisationBy CustomerImprovisation on the Edge by Ruth Zaporah is a rare and beautiful book. Ruth has spent her life creating Action Theater Improvisation. In a time when improvisation and stand up comedy is experiencing heightened interest; I have found Ruth Zaporahs form to be highly superior. While the rule of improvisation is "yes; and..." in reality much of the outcome of some of these mainstream forms is oppressive; gimmicky; and a set up for clever punch lines that make an audience laugh for a second and then forget. Ruth Zaporah has developed a form of embodied improvisation that elevates the art of presence to a spiritual realm; that allows the whole range of humanity to show up; and invites an expansive experience of ones creativity and expressivity. I recommend all of her books. In Improvisations on the Edge; the genius is reflecting; offering insight and wisdom applicable for any artist of any genre; and any human wanting to wake up and live a more present life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... most talented improvisors I have ever met and an amazing teacher.
