DESCRIPTION:
This wide-ranging book brings together theoretical and practical viewpoints on objects in performance, covering actor training, scenography, materials, construction techniques and object theatre.

Eleanor Margolies also explores the viewpoints of actors, directors, designers, prop makers and spectators to demonstrate the varied experiences practitioners have of using props.

Eleanor works in theatre as a designer and director of puppetry, and founded Puppet Notebook, editing it until 2012.
