    "My students are adding more details to their written work. They are reading with more expression....My students were highly engaged in the activities..., I did not have any misbehaving in the class...I had 100% attendance during my artstart residency for the majority of the time."

    chrystal alex & leilani scan0002.jpgIf you work in a group to devise original performance, you need this book! Across the country, dance and theatre professors and teachers of community-based performance require it for their classes. It describes multiple approaches to the creative process, from how to come up with an idea for a performance, to how to create material, to how to organize and structure the material, and how to cut it. It also treats the collaborative process--paying attention to group process, creating group guidelines, communicating peacefully, managing conflict, and giving effective, rigorous peer critical response to work-in-progress.

    "i am a free lance Mime and Actor, and want to tell you how much i LOVE your book. i have been creating devised work in recent years, and have gotten such great inspiration and concrete information from your writing."--Bill Bowers
