Description

This book is out of stock indefinitely.

This nuts-and-bolts look at the elements of solo performance combines interviews with anecdotes to create an inspiring guide for the aspiring solo performer. With the help of several well-seasoned contributors (Kate Bornstein, Colin Martin, Rob Sullivan, Denise Uyehara, and Paul Bonin-Rodrigues among others), Kearns dissects the various genres of solo work (biography, autobiography, storytelling, multiple individuated characters, multiple interwoven characters), discusses the rewarding, yet demanding world of the soloist, and addresses the politics, pioneers, and process of solo performance.
