Your Handy Companion to Devising and Physical Theatre. 2nd Edition.

Our characters can exist in dreams and other surreal places; we can even travel through time.

"Your Handy Companion to Devising and Physical Theatre" is particularly useful for those studying for a post-16 drama qualification and for teachers who encourage their students to be as theatrical as possible when creating their own work. The book includes: An advocacy chapter on the joys of physical theatre and ensemble work. A simple outline on structuring the devising process. Exercises for building the ensemble, creating characters, developing the story and using theatrical devices. This second edition includes advice on working towards a post-16 qualification and how to use 'Five Plays to Play With' in the classroom.
