A unique resource for drama teachers providing 200 stimuli and
age-appropriate individual topics within those to help inspire and
guide young people in devising performance. It contains useful
information on devising techniques, workshops, schemes and lesson
ideas for introducing devising and guidance on how to analyse the
work and give feedback. Following on from his successful book 200
Plays for GCSE and A-Level Performance, author Jason Hanlan has
once again solved one of drama teachers' most frequently
encountered problems: how to unlock the best devised performance
with their students. Devising as a group requires a level of
collaboration, which - without a strong framework - often descends
into wild flights of fancy and a myriad of dead ends. Excellent
ideas can be lost or diluted in an often-awkward attempt to tie it
all together to fit a narrative. The main body of this book is a
unique numbered listing of 200 stimuli, designed to both inspire
and focus the mind, with an example of a possible topic and ‘ways
in’ that would be suitable for each level: "Civil rights" >
"Votes for women" (11 - 14 year olds) > "Rosa Parks" (14-16 year
olds) > "The Disappeared" (16 - 18 year olds) Each stimuli is
given its own page dedicated to exploring its possibilities as a
piece of devised theatre for different age groups, and offering
suggestions for plays, films and books to look at; artefacts and
images to examine; ideas to consider; and further research you can
draw on.
