Books by Joanne Watkinson

A follow up to the popular The Ultimate Drama Pot Collection - 100 Monologues for Young Performers, this book is designed to be a teacher's best friend - packed full of games, activities and exercises for devising and improvising.

A book packed with monologues, duologues, script extracts and other stimuli for performance. Aimed at young performers from pre teens to young adults.The Drama Pot 2 follows on from the success of The Drama Pot, which shortly after It was released had monologues from the book selected by LAMDA as their grade 1 and 2 set pieces for their 2019 Anthology. The book has been written by an experienced drama teacher with over twenty years experience which includes heading up a performing arts faculty in a secondary school, GCSE and A-Level examining and most currently residing as the principal of a successful theatre school.The original monologues and scenes can be used for class work, festivals, exams, and there are also some great script starters which make great starting points for children to create their own performance work. The monologues have guidance on age suitability and there is a good mix of male and female characters, with some written as non-gender specific in order to give the performer a wider selection of pieces to choose from.This collection of creative material would be a great asset to any drama teacher's resources and could be of benefit to primary and secondary schools as well as youth groups, and those preparing for auditions."The Drama Pot is a wonderfully diverse collection of monologues. Such rich, interesting and inventive scenarios for young students to explore. I would certainly recommend this book to any drama or LAMDA teacher." Luke Stevenson (Drama Teacher)"I've used The Drama Pot for my last few drama exams. The children really enjoy the monologues and we have received great results. Highly recommended."
