Editorial Reviews

Review

"A basic operating manual for anyone who works with expressive therapies, role play, storytelling. Jo Salas's language is as direct and evocative as a Playback Theatre episode. Study this book, use it!" -- Robin Larsen, PhD, co-author, A Fire in the Mind: The Life of Joseph Campbell

"Readers concerned with story and theatre will find much of interest in this clearly and simply written account, which combines some of the elements of a how-to manual with reflection and theory." -- Parabola Magazine

"This is a must-read book not only for theatre artists, but for educators and social service professionals interested in the arts as a tool toward both self-expression and community building." -- Mady Schutzmann, Co-Editor, Playing Boal: Theatre, Therapy, Activism

5.0 out of 5 stars Interested in playback theatre and/or psychodrama? Read it!, February 14, 1997
By A Customer
This is not a study book, anyone interested in light reading but with interest in playback theatre or searching to expand their psychodrama-techniques repertoire, should read this easy to read book. The feeling of a playback theatre performance touches you while reading, you have read the book in two hours but will grab it several times to refind the inspiration of it. If you are realy looking for a studies and more comprehensive book on the subject try "acts of service, spontanaity and commitment in improvisational theatre" " of J Fox, if not try this one first
