Engineers Of The Imagination : Welfare State Handbook Paperback / softback

Edited by Baz Kershaw, Tony Coult

Part of the Biography and Autobiography series

Paperback / softback

Description

"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.
