About
Creatives Stage Review looks at how live performance takes shape. We cover the path from an initial idea through writing, rehearsal and staging to the experience of an audience, with attention to choices that a reader can recognise and put to use.
What we cover
Our subjects include finding a workable premise, shaping material for a live setting, making rehearsal purposeful, arranging movement and space, and considering how an audience follows an event. We are interested in creative decisions across different kinds of live performance, not in promoting a single formula.
Who it is for
The publication is for curious readers, aspiring makers and people who take part in performance in any capacity. You do not need specialist training to follow along. We explain terms when they matter and keep advice within the bounds of general creative practice.
How we approach it
We begin with a specific question and work towards a useful way of thinking or making. Rather than claiming one method suits every room or group, we explain what a choice can change and leave space for readers to adapt it to their own work.
Make the choices visible.
A performance is built from many decisions, large and small. Looking closely at them can make the creative process easier to understand and use.
