Whilst aimed primarily at school, youth theatre and community groups, the games in this book are equally fun - and instructional - for adults to play in workshop or rehearsal settings. They explore a wide range of core drama skills: energy, focus, teamwork, trust, character, storytelling, imagination and improvisation, as well as warming up and cooling down. Each page features clear instructions on How to Play, notes on the Aim of the Game and advice on age range, number of players, timing and skills developed.
