Theatre Games and Beyond : A Creative Approach for Performers
Amiel Schotz
Paperback/168 pages
List Price: $16.95

The focus is on loosening people up, and bringing them out of their shells, so that they use their imagination and enjoy the company of others in rhythmic and creative ways, and learn more about themselves as individuals and as part of a group. Schotz insists on calling his first unit "Group Orientation" and on putting games of introduction and trust before exercises in sensory refinement and feeling enhancement; in other words, making the group more important than the atomized individual.
