Do know about somebody's efforts to develop a teacher preparation program
based on actor preparation used in an improvisational theater?
Ricardo, your topic sounds fascinating. Sorry, I can't help you except
referring to Ana Shane (pshane who-is-at andromeda.rutgers.edu) and Lois Holzman
(LHolzdan who-is-at aol.com) who seem to work in similar of research areas.
I'd like to know more about your research.
Take care,
Eugene
