The Frantic Assembly Book of Devising Theatre

I'm teaching a class that requires an exploration of devised theatre and this book has been an absolute godsend. My copy is already warn to pieces, tattered, dog-earred and annotated. My students love the content and the building blocks have really helped us to elevate the quality of art in our classroom. I only wish there were more of it!!

Written in a personal, warm and user friendly way. Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett generously offer practical and at times, thrilling insight into their creative process. Funny, tender and lean. Will be useful to any builder in the performing arts.

Really good and easy read. I highly recommend it for any directors, teachers or actors/artists who interested in creating devised theater.

As a theatre teacher, this book is exciting and can make you rethink your whole curriculum. Definitely helps engagement and critical thinking through creativity and teamwork! These guys produce some remarkable theatre and the book reveals why they are so successful, they rely on specificity and collaborative communities. Definitely recommend to every theatre practitioner and educator!

First half is all their shows/experiences - second half is practical exercises.

Excellent book for physical theater directors and choreographers.

Very educational book.

Not really what I expected, but then....I don't know what I expected.
