GETTING INTO THE ACT: COMMUNICATION THROUGH DRAMA Steve Matthews

This book contains over 200 action packed drama games and exercises which can be used successfully with many groups of people – in schools, youth centres, welfare homes, activities centres, life skills programmes and special education classes.

The book illustrates the effectiveness of drama as an educational tool. By releasing the creative potential of a group and creating an active learning environment, drama enables students to build self-confidence, to discover new skills and knowledge and to improve communication with others.

From games and exercises designed to “break the ice” and build an atmosphere of trust, the book moves to games and exercises which use the more specific dramatic techniques of improvisation, storytelling, role play, mime, sound and movement. Final chapters of the book suggest how to make good use of video equipment and how to bring together in a studio production all that students have learnt.

Teachers and group leaders will find clear and entertaining instruction in this practical handbook, designed for use wherever people gather for the purpose of communicating and learning.

An excellent book. In preloved condition (cover and pages are creased)
