By Jason Hanlan
Published by Methuen Drama
Subtitled “a Drama Teacher’s Resource Book” this is a very practical and helpful support for any drama teacher in search of fresh, sparky ideas. And the language is crisp and clear.
First, Hanlan – an experienced drama teacher with a long track record as an examiner and adviser – defines “devising” in all its forms and explains why it matters. It’s what small children do allour daydreams. He provides lots of outline game/workshop ideas for tapping into that – from grief, and emotion to status and trust.
