NEW: practical handbook by Jana Svobodová: Social-Specific Theatre in Practice / Involving “Real People” Into the Process of Theatre Creation
"In this practical handbook I will share personal discoveries I have made while creating theatre as well as teaching. All the games and exercises I present in this handbook have been tested at many rehearsals, workshops and theatre events that I have led in many places over the last 20 years.
This handbook is intended for theatre professionals, amateurs, teachers, social workers and everyone who would like to apply this methodology to broaden and enrich their own work. And surely it is for all who are excited about the transforming power of theatre!" says Jana Svobodová.
