Description: From the Book Back Back in print with a new introduction and updated bibliography. Creative Dramatics for Children resumes its place as the outstanding handbook in its field — "a serious, informed, and enlightened exposition of one of the most stimulating factors in child development," as Brooks Atkinson said at its first appearance. Excellent educator that she is, Mrs. Durland focuses her attention on the child, and on dramatics as a means of stimulating the child's imagination and eliciting his creative response. She shows how this is done through "story-acting" with very young children, in group creation of a play with older students, in character development and expression with teenagers and beyond. Indeed, her book has implications not only for all aspects of theatre work but for all kinds of creative activity with children. "Any person desiring to broaden his skill in teaching or direction, or to enlarge his vision of the true meaning of the creativeness in drama," said Recreation magazine, "would do well to include this book in his library."
