Sinopsis

This is a practical and theorical handbook which combines critical analysis of contemporary devised theatre practice with commentary on a selection of theatre companies, including: - Greenwhich Young People's Theatre Company. - Forced Entertainment. - Age Exchange. - Forkbeard Fantasy. - Lumiere & Son. - IOU. Alison Oddey both provides practical suggestions for groups devising theatre from scratch and outlines the historical developments and context of 'devised theatre' as a performance genre. Devising Theatre will therefore be of interest to students of performance and practitioners alike.
