Jeni is busy writing new drama resources for schools!
Exploring Theatre: Stanislavski is more complete and expansive than previous resources. It uses new exercises for each component of the System. This one is a must-have! [View the contents of Exploring Theatre: Stanislavski – PDF 35kb]
The ‘Starters’ are practical taster sessions for many practitioners and theatre styles. Each covers the key points of a practitioner or style lasting up to approximately four hours, which can be broken up to fit into your own timetable. The aim of them is to allow teachers to introduce new groups to a variety of ideas and theatre approaches, so that they can see how well a group responds and make choices that will fit the nature of your students.

Other Drama Resources written by Jeni Whittaker
Below are the many previous resources written by Jeni. Most are now available from Digital Theatre+. (If you have not signed up for Digital Theatre+ then please contact Jeni if any of this list interests you. She may be able to help!)
There are still some hard copies of resources left which Jeni needs to clear. These are Brecht Through Practice, Styletasters 1 [Stanislavski, Grotowski, Artaud] which are handsome hardback files that would look good in any drama library, and the following comb-bound resources with attractive covers: Playhouse Creatures, Blood Wedding, The Trojan Women, The Taming of the Shrew, The Good Person of Szechwan, and Oh What a Lovely War. All these are now £20.00. They are all a real bargain.
