Theatre Games

As a professional actor, director and drama teacher, Clive Barker developed his ‘theatre games’ system over thirty years and it has proved its effectiveness for teachers, students and actors alike. The games described in this invaluable handbook are all designed to enable anyone involved in acting to develop their technique without inhibition or artificiality. The games are arranged in order of complexity and illustrated with photographs and diagrams. This edition of the classic text includes an introduction by Dick McCaw, Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London. It also features links to online video material of Clive Barker teaching his games in a studio, and his own commentary on the footage and links to other reflections and writings.
