This was in 1956. A few years later he was himself Associate Artistic Director, working as a play-reader and director, in particular helping to run the Writers' Group. The improvisatory techniques and exercises evolved there to foster spontaneity and narrative skills were developed further in the actors' studio then in demonstrations to schools and colleges and ultimately in the founding of a company of performers, called The Theatre Machine. Divided into four sections, 'Status', 'Spontaneity', 'Narrative Skills', and 'Masks and Trance', arranged more or less in the order a group might approach them, the book sets out the specific techniques and exercises which Johnstone has himself found most useful and most stimulating. The result is both an ideas book and a fascinating exploration of the nature of spontaneous creativity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 226gAuthor: Keith JohnstoneGenre: Music Dance & TheatreItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 133mmRelease Year: 1987 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
