Comunitate si traditie
Multe dintre jocurile si exercitiile din aceasta biblioteca au fost transmise de-a lungul generatiilor de practicanti, profesori si regizori din comunitatea globala de improvizatie. Originile specifice sunt adesea disputate sau necunoscute. Acolo unde am putut identifica o sursa clara, am creditat-o mai sus; acolo unde nu am putut, recunoastem datoria noastra fata de practicantii, ansamblurile si teatrele — de la iO Chicago si The Second City pana la UCB si nenumarate companii independente din intreaga lume — a caror munca si predare au facut aceste idei accesibile tuturor.
