Engineers of the Imagination: The Welfare State Handbook - Tony Coult - Paperback - REVISED

"Welfare State International are brilliant at making an audience of strangers into a community" (Guardian) Since its foundation by John Fox in 1968, Welfare State International has developed a unique form of celebratory theatre that reaches popular audiences through remarkable combinations of archetypal and contemporary imagery. This handbook is a guide to the basic techniques of the company's work - the making of processions; large scale puppets and sculptures; fixed structures; fire and ice technology; shadow puppets; processional theatre and dance music - set in a context that explains the thinking behind the work, and describes some past Welfare State International events. This is first and foremost a practical book rather than an academic treatise.Coult, Tony is the author of 'Engineers of the Imagination: The Welfare State Handbook - Tony Coult - Paperback - REVISED' with ISBN 9780413528001 and ISBN 0413528006.
