Performance
Performance: A Practical Approach to Drama is a textbook that aims to develop expressive skills, improvisation and playbuilding strategies, acting technique, and critical response to live theatre. It has been written to fit any course that focuses on the development and evaluation of performance skills. The book is designed for students to work sequentially through a comprehensive course of study. It is clearly written, logically organised and includes hints, checklists and opportunities for reflection. Performance: A Practical Approach to Drama contains ten chapters divided into small units, each of which begins with an explanation of the skills being taught and an introductory exercise. This 'theory' section is followed by an exploration of related practical skills in workshop exercises, as well as opportunities for students to reflect on their practical work. Chapters conclude with a performance assignment that contains suggestions for assessment and relevant criteria for marking. Key features: concise and clearly written theory combined with a wide range of individual, pair and group exercises, easy-to-follow chapter structure, strong developmental approach, ongoing focus on workshopping and performance, strong emphasis on the value of critical responses to dramatic performance and on self-evaluation, suggestions, hints and pithy quotations positioned at appropriate points in the margin, small margin drawings to assist the completion of exercises (such as movement) and to illustrate stage layouts, carefully chosen scripts (from published and unpublished works, poems and extracts from novels) as stimuli for voice, movement, improvisation and performance exercises, written so that students can use it at home as well as in class.
