This new title in the ever-growing, increasingly popular Drama Games series presents over eighty energizing, instructive, and dynamic games for actors to develop their own performances
The dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book offers a rich source of ideas and inspiration for actors to work on themselves, their characters, and their connection to the text
And, of course, those teaching or directing them
The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the actor's process:
★ SELF provides methods to deepen relaxation, sharpen focus, boost energy, expand imagination and enable a company of actors to work collaboratively
★ CHARACTER suggests strategies to aid the process of transformation, encouraging actors to explore characteristics that are distinct from their own
★ TEXT offers exercises to unlock the words, allowing free and imaginative work within the structure of a script, without losing specificity
The games range from solo explorations which can be performed alone, to ideas for pairs and group work
Thereby making them suitable for a wide variety of scenarios and requirements
Overall, the book will serve as an essential foundation for every actor's creativity, helping improve preparation, rehearsal and performance
REVIEWS
"A mass of invaluable ideas for all ages and all types of actors, amateur or professional. It's hard to imagine anyone involved in theatre who wouldn't find it useful" ~ Sir Richard Eyre from his Foreword
