Theatre in Practice: A Student's Handbook

Theatre in Practice provides students with all of the ‘must have’ Drama skills required for A-Level, International Baccalaureate, BTEC and beyond. Practical, step-by-step exercises and diagrams give access to the key figures and processes central to drama, including:

• Stanislavski, Brecht, Lecoq and Berkoff
• devising theatre
• rehearsing and performing monologues and duologues
• how to approach directing a play
• improvising.

Each chapter offers advice for both students and teachers, with notes and follow-on exercises ideal for individual study and practice. Written by specialists with extensive experience leading workshops for the 'post 16' age-group, Theatre in Practice is a thorough and imaginative resource that speaks directly to students.
