This book has been written with the aim of supporting those drama teachers who, with little experience of physical theatre themselves, have a genuine interest in the style and are keen to enthuse their students to use it in their work. At the same time, we hope the handbook will prove valuable to those students who are already passionate about the subject and are keen to bring the style into their own work. If you are that student who always goes beyond the call of duty, driven by a genuine interest in all kinds of theatre and a passion to contribute to the art form, this book is for you. This is a brief book, with a handful of exercises to kick-off the devising process. It consists of four parts. Part 1: DEVISING AND PHYSICAL THEATRE, an advocacy chapter, highlighting the joys of physical theatre and ensemble work. Part 2: CREATING PHYSICAL THEATRE, suggests a structure for the devising process and is followed by exercises to help with building the ensemble, creating a character and story and using theatrical devices. Part 3: WORKING WITH MASKS introduces mask work. While this is not something that will be tackled by everyone, it is worth considering as an option. For students, it might allow them to create a large number of characters if their piece requires it. For teachers, using masks during exploration can help to illustrate focus, simplicity of movement and honesty in performance. The final part of this book is made up of five scripts that have been used to explore physical theatre. The pieces were created by members of Forbidden Theatre Company’s ensemble and presented during their Freestyle Performances. Some of the pieces will seem more polished than others but all of them illustrate how working in a stylised way can take the audience to a different world. These can also be purchased separately as the compilation "Five Plays to Play With".
