Devising Theatre and Performance - Curious Methods (Hill Leslie)(Paperback / softback) - diskuze

Devising Theatre and Performance is a hands-on guide for artists, students and teachers of performance at any stage of their practice. It offers a wide range of creative prompts and pathways enriched with critical thinking tools and questions, a hybrid approach Hill and Paris call ‘Curious Methods’.
