This comprehensive book delves into performance practices that engage individuals in their journey of recovery from addiction, theorizing these practices as recovery-engaged. By examining examples of practice from a burgeoning movement of UK-based recovery arts practitioners and performers, it showcases a distinctive approach to performance that infuses an understanding of lived experiences of addiction and recovery with creative practice. It presents a philosophy of being in recovery that recognizes the interconnectedness of lived experience, performance practice, and the human and nonhuman elements that shape societal contexts where recovery communities strive to exist. Consequently, it frames the process of recovery and recovery-engaged performance as an affective ecology—a complex system of interconnected relationships. Drawing upon insights from posthumanist research on addiction, cultural theory on identity, and new materialist interpretations of performance practice, the study explores how such contemporary theory can offer additional ways of thinking and doing arts practice with individuals affected by addiction. The discussion underscores the distinct aesthetics, ethics, and politics of this area of performance practice, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars in Applied Theatre, Critical Arts, and Mental Health studies.
