Description
Devising theatre is a fundamental element of the Drama curriculum, but managing the process can be challenging. This practical handbook provides a framework to help you take the stress out of devising and bring out your students' full potential.
Joss Bennathan offers guidance on how to group students, manage multiple groups, and include all participants in the creative process. He also shares ten valuable structures to meet different student needs, ensuring that your students produce meaningful work without relying on shallow or clichéd ideas.
The book includes a range of exercises covering key areas such as voice and movement, characterisation, communication, and performance conventions, using diverse stimulus material including song lyrics, prose extracts, verbatim testimony, and artwork. By following this guide, you can help your students develop their skills and create engaging devised theatre productions.
