Description
The Canon Cookbook has thirty ‘recipes’, each one a method of teaching and learning about the development of European theatre technology, design and architecture, from the Greek and Roman theatres of antiquity to the present day. Extensively illustrated, the Cookbook includes ways of learning about stage design and mechanics, lighting, sound and architecture. Each recipe describes the process, the resources needed and the preparation required, as well as showing the type of student it is intended for, the kind of learning process it is, and how long it will take.
The Cookbook is written by specialist teachers and professional experts, who share their methods and offer tips and advice, based on their extensive experience teaching technical theatre history. The learning activities are based on making and doing, for maximum student engagement, and many are also suitable for solo, self-directed learning by students, professionals, researchers and members of the public. Anyone wanting to learn more about the history of technical theatre, or who teaches the subject, will find this book invaluable.
