Synopsis

In this updated release, the author—as a theatre artist—suggests that Oral Interpretation is a performance art and therefore requires a creative performance approach. In this context, creativity and discovery are the key factors in the preparation and rehearsal process, unlike other approaches that emphasize literary analysis. This book is a comprehensive guide for teachers, youth leaders, geriatric activity providers, and community theater groups interested in the art and science of Oral Interpretation.
