The extensive theoretical reflection and the exhaustive analysis of testimonies from improvisers make this book an object of central importance for a better understanding of the practice of Impro. Its scope is transversal to all international practice, but it has a very particular impact on the contexts of research and creation in Brazil and Portugal.

In addition to its academic relevance, the author’s vast experience in this area – both as a performer and researcher – and his professed passion for the modality, gives, in addition, to reading the text that inviting feeling that makes us let ourselves be carried away by those who know/ do/like.
