Viola Spolin: Theater Games
for the Classroom CD-ROM NEW!
This
is an exciting new product.
In 1996, I proposed to Paul Sills an electronic version of the
Theater Game Card File. I approached a student and colleague of
mine, Max Shafer. Together we developed the model for the
interactivity required in using the games on disc and he has taken
the ball and run with it. The result is this excellent digital tool.
Spolin Games are now in an interactive format that allows you to
quickly select, review and print out games for workshops, create
lesson plans and take notes on your workshops as well as jump to
references, commentaries, definitions and games in a mouse click.
