Theatrical Games. Awareness raising, improvisation, character construction. Acting techniques This book collects the pedagogical work of the author, who for 16 years has combined her experience as an actress and teacher to systematize, specify and propose coherent material for teachers, students and theater directors, on useful and simple dynamics to design a theater program. The first part is based on different games and exercises that are used to prepare the actor, compiled from the experience of the author and from the teachers Clive Barker and Viola Spolin. The second part is focused on the work of the teacher based on acting techniques such as The Comedy of Art, the Stanislavski technique, the Michael Chekhov technique and the Neutral Circle technique.

As part of the ever-growing, increasingly popular Drama Games series, Jessica Swale returns with another dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book, packed with dozens of drama games that can be used in the process of devising theatre. The games will be invaluable to directors and theatre companies at all levels who are creating new pieces of theatre from scratch and need lively, dynamic games to fire the imagination. They will particularly appeal to school, youth theatre and community groups where devising is a growing trend – and a core element of the drama curriculum. Written with clear instructions on How to Play, notes on the Aim of the Game, and illuminating examples from professional productions, the games cover every aspect of the devising process and develop all the skills required: generating ideas, creating characters and scenarios, using stimuli, structuring the piece, and creating an ensemble.
