Opis

This title combines both theory and practice to lead, stepwise, to a full understanding of radio drama form. With the resurgence (though some say it has never left) of radio, due in part to new media practices and technological innovations, not only are there more theory-related radio courses, but also those teaching the production and practice aspects. The Radio Drama Handbook combines both theory and practice to lead, stepwise, to a full understanding of radio drama form. The handbook is broken down into two large sections: A Contextual Guide to Radio Drama and A Practical Guide to Radio Drama. There will be a wide selection of case studies and practical exercises to make the book engaging and, above all, useful. Each section will be accompanied by practical exercises and suggested activities. Practice oriented and teacher/student friendly, this handbook is sure to become the new standard for all radio drama courses.
