The Theatrical Firearms Handbook is the essential guide to navigating the many decisions that are involved in the safe and effective use of firearm props for both the stage and screen. It is an invaluable resource for fight choreographers; props designers; backstage crew; directors; actors; stage managers; and more; at all levels of experience. Written in an informal and entertaining manner; with over 100 illustrations; it establishes baseline safety protocol while empowering performers and designers to tell their story of conflict in a way that makes the most of both established convention and current tools of the trade.Within these pages youll find practical instruction couched in the language of theatre and film; making firearms technology and concepts approachable to dramatic artists without any dumbing-down of the subject material. This handbook is equally at home within the worlds of academic training; professional performance; and independent or community theatre and video productions.

Reading it is a bit like sitting with Corita and listening to her tell you how to go out into the world and see all things differently. So yes; I really like it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great book about the Pholosophy and teachings of an Interesting ArtistBy LAraI am happy to have this book. It is pretty comprehensive and interesting. We inherited two of Corita Kings prints and this book and another about her are on the table nearby!10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. An inspiring look into the heart of creativityBy Marilyn PhillipsAfter being out of print it is pure joy to have this fine book available again. It is written to engage and guide new artists into the wonder of creating art and at the same time it will inspire mature artists to reach deeper and stretch their artistic wings.After Sister Coritas death Jan Steward labored with great love and determination to finish the book they had begun together. She is to be thanked for bringing the brilliant teaching methods of Corita Kent to the rest of us.
