Description

A Beginner's Guide to Devising Theatre by Jess Thorpe and Tashi Gore offers practical guidance for those new to devising theatre or looking to further develop their skills. This book explores creative ways to create original theatre from a contemporary stimulus, providing a structure within which to approach the creative process. It covers key areas such as finding a starting point, generating material, composition and design, and presents grounding in terminology that will support a confident and informed approach to production. The work of Junction 25 is used to illustrate the concepts and ideas set out in the book, making it an ideal resource for students taking Drama and Theatre Studies courses. With contributions from young performers and key artists in the field, this book provides constructive guidance on creating original theatre from scratch.
