The Performers' Guide to the Collaborative Process
The Performer's Guide to the Collaborative Process is a book for anyone who wants to work with a group and invent a performance in any genre: dance, mime, clown, comedy, vaudeville, story-telling, spoken-word, and theatre. It is for students and teachers; amateur and professional performers, directors, choreographers, and playwrights. Professors of Dance, Theatre, Community-Based Performance, and Devising Performance use this book as a foundation for their courses. It is for drama teachers who can't find scripts suitable for their classes and for dance teachers who want their students to craft their own choreography.
