House of Games - Making Theatre for Everyday Life

Whether the drama group is based in a youth club or a theatre, a hospital or a community hall, this book offers strategies for developing improvisations and productions which are rooted in the everyday experiences of group members

House of Games is divided into three sections:

Foundations - the essential understandings which underpin drama work

Facilitation- the responsibilities and challenges of facilitating a group

Animations - games and exercises for impro, narrative, imagework, movement and devising performance
