Primarily geared toward theatre teachers directors and theatre workshop leaders this groundbreaking interactive book ä with an accompanying CD ä shows actors and singers how to expand their creative choices by taking journeys to find the archetypes within themselves. ÞArchetypes are universal essences that we all recognize: the Mother the Lover the Trickster the Spiritual and Temporal Leader. Each one is not a fully developed character but rather its essence ä images forms voices bodies and psychological elements ä around which a performer can organize a portrayal and begin full character development. ±The first part of the book± contains sixteen archetype journeys. Each archetype journey is accompanied by preparatory explorations for the voice body and imagination. The CD sung by Ms. Armstrong provides songs and examples of vocal ornamentation to prepare and assist the journeyer. ±The second part of the book± contains suggestions on how to apply the discoveries to real acting situations explaining how to use the archetypes in the creation of multifaceted characters and in classroom explorations such as mask making improvisation monologue scene and song work and devising theatre.
