Devising in Process

This book brings together detailed case studies of the creative process of eight theatre companies making devising-based performances in styles ranging from physical theatre to puppetry to live art. Writers have been granted unusual access to the rehearsal room, enabling them to offer concrete insights into how ideas evolve and develop.

ALEX MERMIKIDES is Lecturer at Kingston University. She is editorial adviser for Total Theatre and from 1996-2000 was company writer and literary manager for Camden People's Theatre. JACKIE SMART is Senior Lecturer at Kingston University.
