DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to James E.. excellent product and service!. A Customer said Just what you've been looking for. I've read many books on this subject in the vain hope that they will give me advice on how to actually CREATE theatre on a PRACTICAL level: not to be patronised in the process or made to feel that because I don't have enough experience I shouldn't even bother. Well, PRAISE BE TO THE THEATRE GODS, I've found a book that not only shows me how to practically create and produce non-text based theatre but to actually enjoy it too! The writers' enthusiasm leaps off of the page and soon injects that same enthusiasm into the readerwhether they are a student, keen theatregoer, professional or amateur. The presentation is wonderful: the pho. john freeman said Superb !. I have devised many shows with young people and in professional contexts. There is no other book which does the job this one does. It allows professionals from the whole spectrum (from directors to composers to stage managers) to write about their experiences of devising in a way ANYONE would find useful. It is a MUST for any student or young professional wishing to begin work from a non text base.
