'Everyone can act' says Mrs Spolin, and her book demonstrates this simply and clearly. The theatre games outlined here can be applied to all levels of ability and have already been enthusiastically adopted by schools, amateur groups and the professional theatre.
After a short introduction explaining the theoretical foundations for the teacher and the director, the central part of the book comprises more than two hundred theatre games. These can be used in a teaching programme to give the player increased control over his movement and speech, and to improve his ability to express emotion and develop character. Two final sections give advice on the use of this exercise material, first with children, and secondly as specific preparation for play production.
Schools, youth clubs, hospitals, play groups, therapy groups, drama schools, and amateur and professional theatre companies will find this a unique and rewarding handbook.
Viola Spolin has spent a lifetime developing her theories of creativity through improvisation, working with children and young actors. Mrs Spolin's techniques were further developed in the professional theatre by her son, Paul Sills in his two Broadway successes, Metamorphoses and Story Theatre.
A fascinating, thorough, logical and rewarding book by America's "high priestess of improvisa-tional theatre" . . the book is inspiring . . .'
Teachers' World • a mine of practical suggestions
