Creating Life Story Theatre explores the process of making theatre from personal stories, bringing together practical exercises, reflections and case studies from Re-Live's work over the past twenty years.
Drawing on projects co-created with military veterans and families, people living with dementia, older adults, intergenerational groups, and those approaching the end of life, the book offers guidance for practitioners, students and researchers interested in collaborative and ethical approaches to life story work.
Written by Karin Diamond, Alison O'Connor and Clark Baim, the book explores co-creation, ownership, accountability, ethics and boundaries, alongside practical techniques and exercises to help readers develop their own practice.
Featuring the voices and perspectives of both practitioners and participants, Creating Life Story Theatre is an accessible introduction to the rewards and challenges of working with people's most precious commodity: their life stories.
