The full climb — from why a live crowd is different from a reader, to the moves that hold a room, to reading trouble and turning a room that's gone wrong. Three short steps, each with its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromThe live loop: speaker and crowd shape each other in real time. Make a move and watch the room. 2 How to do itThe five moves that hold a room — and why the fundamentals have to come first. 3 Where it gets trickyThe bored room, the heckler, the silence trap, over-performing — and how to recover.
