Synopsis:

Psychological principles and skills applied to performance and presentation, taught through fictional narrative and lessons/exercises. Michael Colgrass combines neuro-linguistic programming, mime, creativity, hypnosis, psychology and Grotowski physical training in this engaging teaching tale. Nick's encounters with his teacher, Kumi, become one of the most comprehensive self-development chronicles ever written.
