The Bamboozle Book of Dramatic Starts is divided into 4 sections:
•   Entering the Space – gives ideas for building anticipation and excitement as your group enter the classroom or hall.
•   Defining the Space – tells you how to set up a space so that it has the potential for intrigue, interest and impact.
•   How to get started - some simple practical ways to start a drama session
•   The non-judgemental approach – explains a way to put students at their ease and gets students to speak who usually stay silent
