| Summary |
Here is a completely revised and updated edition of a classic guide to getting young people on stage and helping them create their own shows. |
|
Aimed at parents and teachers who work with young people ages 8-18, Kids Take the Stage features the systematic approach to putting on a show that the authors have developed in more than 35 years of working with children. It begins with basic lessons in acting, and continues through sample scenes, relaxation techniques, trust-building exercises, games, improvisations, and building from the rehearsal process through to the final show. An all-new, ready-to-perform Christmas play and an at-a-glance guide to meeting ideas enhance this new edition. Also included are extended chapters on working with older children, as well as a section aimed at breathing new life into standard classroom lessons through the magic of theater. |
|
Clear, accessible, and fun, Kids Take the Stage is the perfect book to help young people realize their creative potential. |
