As part of the continuously evolving Drama Games series, Jessica Swale returns with yet another practical book, filled with dozens of drama art games that can be used during the theater creation process.
The games are invaluable for directors and theater groups of all levels who are creating new works from scratch and need lively, dynamic games that will excite the imagination. They are particularly aimed at schools, youth theater groups, and community ensembles, where creation is a growing trend and a key element of the drama curriculum.
Written with clear instructions on how to play, notes on the game's objective, and enlightening examples from professional productions, the games cover every aspect of the creation process and develop all the required skills: idea production, character and script creation, use of stimuli, play structure, and ensemble creation.
Mike Leigh, the most devoted and acclaimed creator of theatrical works, praises the book in his preface as "particularly original and extremely useful."
"A remarkable volume of games and exercises... a lively starting point for rich invention" - Mike Leigh, from his preface.
