This text has been included in the Recommended Reading list for the EdExcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Drama and Theatre Studies and the OCR Level 3 Cambridge Technical Cert/Diploma in Performing Arts.

The book includes:

- An advocacy chapter on the joys of physical theatre and ensemble work.

- A simple outline on structuring the devising process.
