Primarily geared toward theatre teachers, directors, and theatre workshop leaders, this groundbreaking, interactive book - with an accompanying CD - shows actors and singers how to expand their creative choices by taking journeys to find the archetypes within themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArchetypes are universal essences that we all recognize: the Mother, the Lover, the Trickster, the Spiritual and Temporal Leader. Each one is not a fully developed character but rather its essence - images, forms, voices, bodies and psychological elements - around which a performer can organize a portrayal and begin full character development. \u003cb\u003eThe first part of the book\u003c\/b\u003e contains sixteen archetype journeys. Each archetype journey is accompanied by preparatory explorations for the voice, body, and imagination. The CD, sung by Ms. Armstrong, provides songs and examples of vocal ornamentation to prepare and assist the journeyer. \u003cb\u003eThe second part of the book\u003c\/b\u003e contains suggestions on how to apply the discoveries to real acting situations, explaining how to use the archetypes in the creation of multifaceted characters and in classroom explorations such as mask making, improvisation, monologue, scene and song work, and devising theatre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrankie Armstrong\u003c\/b\u003e has run workshops all over Europe as well as in North America and Australia., She has made ten solo albums, and edited a collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eWell-Tuned Women\u003c\/i\u003e, with Jenny Pearson. \u003cb\u003eJanet Rodgers\u003c\/b\u003e is past president of VASTA, the Voice and Speech Trainers Association.
