A Movement Approach to Acting
(One major problem of beginning actors is that their bodie...)
One major problem of beginning actors is that their bodies are often disconnected from their voices and their movement is disassociated from their feelings. The best actors are those who use both verbal and nonverbal communication. Almost all actors' training programs recognize the necessity for some movement training but problems arise as to what kind and to what purpose.

Storymaking in Education and Therapy
( Myths and related stories describe essential human expe...)
Myths and related stories describe essential human experience which, requiring use of the imagination, reconcile and give voice to fantasy and reality. Speaking through images which embrace the paradox of possible and impossible, the likely and the desired, they stimulate our personal expressive abilities in a way quite distinct from the absorption of prescribed images which television and radio present. This book is concerned with rekindling that creative power of the human imagination which in the West has atrophied through neglect. It is concerned with increasing an understanding of the need to exercise our imagination as one of our psychic functions, as well as the need to exercise our bodies. This book contains myths and tales from all over the world which are grouped around seven themes, all reflective of forms of human experience. The authors suggest ways in which these myths and tales can be used to develop our imagination's original and unique voice through educational and therapeutic encounter, and how this expression can be communicated to others who are engaged in the same task.

Storymaking and Drama: An Approach to Teaching Language and Literature at the Secondary and Postsecondary Levels
(Teachers face enormous problems trying to motivate studen...)
Teachers face enormous problems trying to motivate students who don't like to read. In this book, Nancy King shows how storymaking and drama are powerful ways to engage students as they read novels, plays, poetry, and autobiography, and how both students and teachers benefit from educational opportunities based on dialogue rather than lecture. In "Storymaking and Drama" teachers will find thoughtful, practical, inventive, and creative ways to explore literature and drama in the classroom. The author has included many stories from around the world to make the book a joy to read and to help stimulate the development of new ideas for classroom educational practice.
