About this title

Synopsis

Acts of Service provides a rationale for contemporary, interactive, nonscripted theatre and connects it to the earliest forms of storytelling. There are chapters on spontaneity, improvisational performance, and theatre for social ecology. The author draws upon his experience as founder of Playback Theatre, an improvisational story theatre, oral studies, psychodrama, and years spent in the third world.

Review

"I am indebted to Jonathan Fox's remarkable (and underappreciated) book Acts of Service: Spontaneity, Commitment, and Tradition in the Nonscripted Theatre. His description of the parallel paths of scripted and non-scripted theater is seminal." -- Joel Plotkin, State University of New York

"I find the book stimulating, challenging, exciting and illuminating." -- Peter Wright, University of New England, Armidale

"The whole concept of nonscripted theatre is very helpful to me in relation to my teaching, so your book gives me a sense of groundedness in what it is I'm doing." -- Deborah Welsh, Syracuse University
