5.0 out of 5 stars footsteps, 4 Jan 2004

By	christine (london) - See all my reviews

A really valuable and useful book. Very good in terms of explaining the complexities of performance making and very strong on linking theory with practice. It's a compassionate, honest and critical work that made me think long and hard about my own ways of working. For anybody who values creativity, analysis and reflection this book is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freeman's Footprints, 31 Oct 2003

By	"misterloverman" - See all my reviews

What a breath of fresh air reading this book was. With the gritty, down to earth and honest interpretation of what drama and theater is about the writer drags the subject matter screaming and shouting into the twenty first century.
This book has the ability to relight the fires of a lost generation for whom theater often holds little or no interest. Great work. I am looking forward to the next book

5.0 out of 5 stars reviewing the footprints, 22 Oct 2003

By A Customer

This book fills a real gap in the market. As someone who devises theatre I found Tracing the Footprints totally compelling. If you have read Alison Oddey's Devising Theatre or Tim Etchells' Certain Fragments you will be familiar with the territory that Tracing the Footprints explores. But this book approaches its subject in a totally different way. Written entirely from the perspective of the writer/director it gives insights that other books miss out completely. From gathering a group to creating a text and then on into performance this book covers all the angles. The use of language is at times theoretical, at other times poetic, making the book both critical and creative. If you are interested in the relationship between theory and practice as it relates to performance then this book is for you. I don't know why some titles are more expensive than others - and this one is expensive - but it is worth the money.
