The Handy Book of Unscripted Plays
The Curtain Up Players have been in existence for eight years. We are a group of people in the over-50's age group who enjoy coming together to improvise scenes, sketches and plays that include serious topics, such as dementia and family relationships, as well as Christmas pantomimes. Our founder, Dr. Ron Wiener, is a world-renowned sociodramatist, and a community theatre director. We work with: Kirklees Council SSD, Huddersfield University, Kirklees Dementia Action Alliance, Age U.K., and community organisations such as luncheon clubs, care homes and different disability groups. "This book offers some of the scenarios and scripts created by the Curtain Up Players ... They will be useful as starting points for amateur theatre groups as well as school, college and university sessions and group workers of many persuasions." Franc Chamberlain, Professor of Drama, Theatre and Performance, University of Huddersfield
Drama, Psychotherapy and Psychosis
This work explores the use of drama and theatre in the challenging area of working with people who hear voices, focusing especially on survivors of abuse and those diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia.
Theology and the Arts
This book brings the emerging fields of practical theology and theology of the arts into a dialogue beyond the bias of modern systematic and constructive theology. The authors draw upon postmodern, post-secular, feminist, liberation, and dialogical/dialectical philosophy and theology, and their critiques of the narrow modern emphases on reason and the scientific method, as the model for all knowledge. Such a practical theology of the arts focuses the work of theology on the actual practices that engage the arts in their various forms as the means of interpreting and understanding the nature of the communities and their members, as well as the mechanisms through which these communities engage...
Let's Imagine
Over forty drama improvisation 'starter' scenes and exercises for groups (developed with adult drama groups but could easily be adapted for younger people). Each one offers numerous opportunities for variation, according to the creative style and practice base of the individual facilitator and the group context, function and identity. Developed by a master in the art of creative social improvisation, the exercises in this book might be used in schools, colleges, community groups, drama and theatre skills development groups, action-oriented personal development/therapy groups. They can be explored simply to have fun, or as warm-ups to deeper explorations of aspects of the world we live in.
Playing the Other
This book is an exploration and critique of 'playback theatre', a form of improvised theatre in which a company of performers spontaneously enact autobiographical stories told to them by members of the audience. With more than ten years' experience as an actor with Playback Theatre York, the author introduces the reader to the basics of playback theatre within a historical and theoretical context. The history and development of the form is traced, from its conception in the late 1970s to its subsequent growth worldwide, and its relationship to the psychodrama tradition from which it has evolved is discussed. Through an examination of playback performances from the perspectives of performers, `tellers' of their stories and the audience, the author critically explores the nature, implications and ethics of the performers' response to the teller's experience, how notions of the public and personal are constructed, and the risks involved in improvising a response to a member of the audience's story. Playing the Other will be essential reading for drama students, dramatherapists and all those interested in the history and use of the theatre.

The Element
Esiste un luogo in cui le cose che amiamo e quelle che siamo bravi a fare si ritrovano insieme. Questo luogo dell'anima si chiama "l'Elemento". È essenziale che ciascuno di noi nel corso della vita trovi il proprio elemento, e riesca così a esprimere appieno talento e creatività. Secondo Ken Robinson tutti nasciamo con capacità naturali straordinarie, con cui perdiamo il contatto man mano che cresciamo. Ironicamente, uno dei motivi per cui questo succede è proprio l'istruzione che riceviamo. L¿attuale sistema scolastico sembra fatto apposta per soffocare la nostra creatività. Non ci viene mai data la possibilità di esplorare noi stessi, di capire le nostre reali inclinazioni. E il ri...
Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale. 2022
L’Associazione Italiana per il Patrimonio Archeologico Industriale (AIPAI), in occasione dei suoi 25 anni, ha promosso i Secondi Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale. Per tracciare un bilancio ed elaborare strategie e visioni ha posto le condizioni per l’incontro tra gli addetti ai lavori e il confronto tra i molteplici ambiti operativi, di ricerca e istituzionali coinvolti.

La risposta è stata ampia e tra i numerosi contributi presentati in questo volume, si posson...
