At Play: Teaching Teenagers Theater ReviewI looked at a lot of reviews before purchasing this book, and along with this book I also bought Gavin Levy's 112 Acting Games. I liked this book the best of the two (though both have strengths). I liked this book for two reasons. First I liked the clear explanations that came with the activities, including a little about the "aim" of the activity. Secondly, and more importantly, I liked the activities themselves. They seemed more mature than the activities in 112 Acting Games, and since I work with university ESL students, this was better for me. In the end, I think many of these activities have a nice depth and meaning to them that was clear to me. I would highly recommend this book for teachers working with junior/senior high school students or university esl students. Very nice book.
At Play: Teaching Teenagers Theater OverviewYoung people and improvisational theater should be a natural combination--so why do we so rarely find this combo in today's classrooms? According to Elizabeth Swados--playwright, director, composer, poet, author of children's books and of an acclaimed family memoir--improvisational theater is the perfect creative outlet for junior-high and high-school students . . . if only they can be given the tools and the guidance to make the most of this natural yet rigorous art form.Drawing on her own experience teaching inner-city children in the groundbreaking musical Runaways and in teaching the techniques of improv theater in schools around the country, as well as on her own background in experimental theater, Swados provides a step-by-step guide to bringing out the natural creativity and enthusiasm key to young people creating--and enjoying--improvisational theater. Covering the basics--from freeing the imagination to learning about how to work with an ensemble, from how to master different forms of movement and sound to how to create different kinds of characters--this is the book for teachers and students eager to learn how to express fully the creative talent that all children are born with.
