Description
Devising Theatre: A Practical and Theoretical Handbook by Alison Oddey explores the unique nature of this type of performance. The author examines how devised theatre is perceived by professional practitioners, providing an historical overview illustrating its evolution since the 1960s. This handbook combines a critical analysis of contemporary devised theatre practice with descriptions of selected companies and suggestions for groups devising theatre from scratch. Oddey draws on her research into specific working practices and products, including those of a Reminiscence theatre for the elderly and a theatre-in-education group, to offer ideas and exercises for exploration and experimentation. By identifying the key elements of devised theatre, Oddey provides a general theory of this type of performance. This practical handbook is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding and creating devised theatre.
