Improve is a graphic memoir that takes the reader on a journey through the author's experience with anxiety, and how improv classes helped them. While this is a book marketed to teens, as an adult dealing with anxiety, there's a lot that an older audience can gain from this read, too. The artwork is fantastic and captures emotion wonderfully, which is important considering the subject matter. Most importantly, though, Graudins outlines numerous exercises for readers to do without requiring formalized classes, which is a fantastic way to break down barriers to access: not every teen has access to a local or school theatre, and this book puts those exercises directly in their hands and tells them that they can do it, too. Thank you to First Second and NetGalley for providing a copy for review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"A graphic memoir for teens about the author's efforts to overcome her social anxiety by learning improv comedy. Alex has crippling social anxiety. All day long, she is trapped in a web of negative thoughts and paralyzing fear. To pull herself free of this endless cycle, Alex does something truly terrifying: she signs up for an improv comedy class. By forcing herself to play silly games and act out ridiculous scenes, Alex confronts the unbearable weight of embarrassment, makes new friends, rediscovers parts of herself that she'd hidden away, and ultimately faces her greatest fear by performing onstage for all to see." -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In the end it comes off as more an improv textbook than a personal story. ( )
