Acting techniques; Theatre direction & production

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.
