The Performer's Guide to the Collaborative Process by Sheila Kerrigan

HOW-TO



The Performer's Guide to the Collaborative Process by Sheila Kerrigan

While not specifically about clowning, this book is a great resource for people who work together to create theatre or shows (like, for example, a group of clowns) Sheila Kerrigan, the author, spent a great deal of time interviewing directors, group leaders, and theatre professionals (including myself!) and she spends a good deal of the book detailing exercises that promote team-building, group-building, and collaboration. An essential book for those who wish to do more than solo work, or director’s looking for new ways to bring the most out of your actors/team.


Sheila also has a website that you can check out if you are interested in her work.
