Description: "This comprehensive handbook introduces techniques and exercises for devising theatre as an ensemble. Its clear style makes it an ideal book for students new to devising, while its wide scope provides fresh ideas for more experienced actors"--
Review Quotes: "Aimed at actors, directors, and teachers, the seven short chapters of this book offer practical tools alongside a frank assessment of the difficulties common to the process, culled from Robinson's thirty years of devising experience ... It provides plenty of exercises that will ease novice practitioners into the process of ensemble creation ... Most importantly, it sparks a flame-both artistic and intellectual-that might compel its readers to further engagement with the practice and study of devising." --Karen Jean Martinson, Theatre Topics, Vol. 26 (1)
