ForewordThese exercises and techniques have been collected from a variety of sources, some related to "serious" work, and others from collaborative exercise and theatre. On the face of it these categories have little in common. In practice, the distinction between a game, an entertainment, a warm up exercise and a technique is far from being clear cut. Many of the items which have arbitrarily placed in one of these lists could easily be transferred to another. (For example, the improvisation exercise "World's Worst" is just an example of the "Individual Brainstorm" creativity exercise, which is just an application of Brainstorming techniques from the Creativity Techniques section.)
