  • Then What Happens? - Storytelling and Adapting for the Theatre - cover

    Then What Happens? -...

    Mike Alfreds

    A practical investigation into story-theatre and the art of telling stories through theatre, by the renowned director who founded Shared Experience Theatre Company.
    In Then What Happens?, Mike Alfreds makes the case for putting story and storytelling back at the heart of theatre. He explores the whole process of adapting for the stage, and investigates the particular techniques - many of them highly sophisticated - that actors require when performing 'story-theatre'.
    The book includes over two hundred exercises, improvisations and workshops dealing with the practical aspects of story-theatre, such as building an ensemble, creating a physical vocabulary, and transforming written narrative into drama. It draws on examples ranging from traditional legends and folklore, through the works of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Evelyn Waugh, to contemporary fiction. Alfreds shows how each story demands its own particular set of dramatic choices, opening up endless possibilities for performance.
    Then What Happens? - like the author's tremendously successful first book, Different Every Night - will be invaluable to directors and actors, to dramatists working in the field of adaptation, to those devising and working from improvisation, and to any theatregoer who has been moved by the power of an unfolding story to ask: 'Then what happens?'
    'All theatre directors know that good narrative is the secret of good theatre, but few have as distinctive, rigorous and exceptional a method of exploring that secret as does Mike Alfreds. His system of working, and his thoughts on the making of theatre in our time, are as crucial and illuminating as those of Stanislavsky and Peter Brook have been to generations of theatre enthusiasts and practitioners.' Michael Coveney
    'both fascinating and instructive for the general reader as well as practitioners... will prove invaluable to directors, actors and even designers and choreographers... a must have' - British Theatre Guide
    'Alfreds' substantial book provides a fascinating insight into [his approach], which has been adopted by many other directors and companies since the 1970s. ... This is an ideal read for anyone who is keen to put storytelling at the heart of performance' - Drama Resource
    'Comprehensive, rigorous and practical... a heavyweight book from a heavyweight author' - Theatre in Wales
    'Practical and thorough... a very useful book for playwrights and directors' - The Stage

    All the Mexican slang you'll ever need!! 
    I have been teaching Mexican Spanish online for over three years, and while talking to my students, I noticed how interested they were in learning Mexican slang. 
    They always asked me about it, and it also fascinated me. I realized that slang didn’t follow any rules and was constantly changing daily. 
    I created a blog where I started posting entries for my students to explain better how to use informal Mexican Spanish. 
    These blog posts have evolved into this book. 
    Here, I gather the most important phrases and words of Mexislang and explain their history and usage, including examples. 
    You will find this manual helpful if:You want to learn Spanish from Mexico;You are going to travel to Mexico;You want to understand Mexican culture better;You like learning new languages;You want to communicate better with Mexican people;You want to know the most recent Mexican slang (and internet slang) from 2022;You want to learn slang from an authentic Mexican tutor who has taught Spanish to people worldwide and has lived in Mexico for over 30 years. 
    Mexico is the 8th most visited country in the world and #1 in Latin America, so this is a book that anyone who wants to make bonds, communicate, and establish good relationships with Mexican people can use.Start talking like a Mexican, Get Mexislang now!!
