Hello Everybody,
My name is Kenn Adams. I'm the Artistic Director of San Francisco's Synergy Theater, and the author of the new book, How to Improvise a Full-Length Play; The Art of Spontaneous Theater. (Allworth Press, October 2007) This is the only book on the market that offers a step-by-step method for mastering the most advanced application of improvisational theater - the completely improvised full-length play! The book addresses:
Cause and Effect Story Telling
Raising the Dramatic Stakes
The Structure of a Well-Made Play
How to Improvise and Remain Spontaneous within that Dramatic Structure
How to Improvise Long, Substantial Scenes with Strong Character Objectives and Productive Dramatic Conflict
Creating Characters that Support the Narrative
Creating Environments that Fuel the Dramatic Action
Developing Theme through Symbolism and Metaphor
Each section is accompanied by fun, practical exercises that immediately allow your ensemble or class to begin practicing and developing the required skills. By the end of the book, your group will be improvising plays!

I'm also available for workshops, intensive master classes, and guest-director opportunities.
