Summary:Drawing on his wide experience with groups of all ages and abilities, Brian Clark captures the excitement of group productions (and suggests that some of the greatest theatre in the western world - Shakespeare's for instance - was possible because of group improvisation). He shows that three basic approaches to playmaking have evolved in practice: "working in" to an existing text, as Schechner and his group did with The Bacchae of Euripides to produce Dionysus in 69; "working around" a set theme, resulting in such plays as Oh what a lovely war; and finally "working out", perhaps exemplified by The Living Theatre's late productions.
