The BoxWhatBox Book
Acting for the 21st Century
by
Michael Devine
What if an actor possessed the expressive tools to work across cultures? Actor, director, and playwright Michael Devine (Playing Outside the Lines: Collected Plays I) has spent years bridging cultures in both performance and training. Through an exploration of the core principles of power, control, and joy, BoxWhatBox frees the artist from habits that inhibit their development and their ability to create, and which confine them within the box of their own cultures and lived experience. With case studies, photographs, and engaging games, exercises, and études, BoxWhatBox is the practical handbook for any actor who desires to inspire.
Michael Devine is an international theatre director and founder/director of the Centre for Alternative Theatre Training (CATT). Trained as an actor in both the UK (LAMDA) and the USA (Herbert Berghof Studio, Actors Movement Studio), Michael holds a PhD in Drama from the University of Toronto. He developed BoxWhatBox as an intercultural training and performance method in 2004. Since then, he has brought BWB to national and independent theatres, conservatories and universities in more than twenty countries on five continents.
