It draws on the authors' practice and research in prisons, with military veterans and families, older adults, people living with dementia, intergenerational community groups, and end-of-life care settings. Offering guiding principles for practitioners undertaking work in this field and sharing techniques and exercises to help develop your style and approach, it also features handy hints and pitfalls to consider while working with someone's most precious commodity: their life story.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Featuring both the authors' and participants' perspectives, the book explores concepts such as collaborative editing and co-creation, ownership and accountability, ethics and boundaries, and rolling consent. Alongside a growing interest in using personal stories in applied theatre, it argues that there is increasing evidence for the role of the arts in the promotion of health, prevention of ill health, and management and treatment of illness. In light of the steady increase in a diverse range of arts practitioners embracing narrative practice, this book is an accessible, practitioner-level text on the subject.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarin Diamond \u003c\/b\u003eis the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Re-Live, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlison O'Connor \u003c\/b\u003eis the Co-Founder and Company Supervisor of Re-Live, UK. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eClark Baim \u003c\/b\u003eis the Director of the Birmingham Institute for Psychodrama, UK and former Director of Geese Theatre Company UK.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 20, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43153748295743,"sku":"9781350405868","price":216.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/V99WpUF4qy9781350405868.webp?v=1776950435","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/creating-life-story-theatre-a-guide-for-applied-theatre-practitioners-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
