Theater Games for Rehearsal: A Director's Handbook, first published
in 1985, is a practical application of Viola Spolin's famous method
that guides directors and their companies step-by-step through all
phases of the rehearsal period. Spolin shows in easy-to-follow
detail how her techniques can be used for a variety of theater
situations, ranging from selecting plays or material to be
performed, casting, and building a harmonious company to warming up
actors, creating stage space, and overcoming opening night jitters.
The edition reflects Spolin's wished-for updates: five important
exercises have been added, and instructions presenting her
improvisational approach have been clarified throughout. Her wealth
of useful notes remain undiminished. Sidecoaching instructions and
game evaluations are boxed and highlighted for on-the-spot reading
by the director, in rehearsal.
Viola Spolin has been called "the high priestess of
improvisational theater," and the method that she created
andpresented in her books not only remains the pedagogical standard
but has found an even wider audience beyond theater. Featuring a
new foreword by renowned film director Rob Reiner, the updated
edition is a necessary addition to any theater bookshelf.
