Novedades 1er Trimestre 2025: Improvisation Libre! Samuel Berger

First quarter 2025 editorial news on improv books

News / 10 de April de 2025
The start of the year is a good time to reflect. In this case, I decided to look at the new publishing releases brought on by the 2020 pandemic. It was noticeable that there was a surge in improv books in subsequent years, fueled by the time of confinement and reflection. Some companies had to shut down, and this gave their members time to pause and put their perspectives and way of living and teaching improv into writing. This quarter, we didn’t see any new publishing releases, so we’re reviving an essay published in 2024. In addition, 11 new titles have been added to the improv library, among which applied improvisation stands out, especially in the medical field. If you’ve read them, leave a comment with your opinion, and if you know of an interesting title that’s missing (or that you’re going to publish),...
