Vicky Featherstone has compiled an anthology of thought-provoking critical essays, drawing from a decade of her own thinking, writing, and engagement with contemporary performance in various roles such as critic, producer, dramaturg, maker, archivist, and more. Together, these 40 essays create a comprehensive map of the contemporary performance landscape, encompassing avant-garde dance, live art, independent theatre, and more. They trace the contours of these performances' themes, aims, desires, and their interconnectedness with the broader realms of mainstream theatre, art, and politics.
Within each essay, the focus is on a specific artist, showcasing a diverse range of talents. These artists include Bryony Kimmings, Dickie Beau, Forced Entertainment, Scottee, Selina Thompson, Tania El Khoury, and Uninvited Guests. Reflecting the radical nature of the work examined, the authors endeavor to forge a new vocabulary and unconventional approaches to understanding live performance. This book serves as both a fresh survey of contemporary performance and an exploration of how to think and write about upstream and avant-garde work. It is an invaluable resource for students, artists, audiences, and anyone with a curiosity to delve into the captivating and enigmatic happenings beyond the theatrical mainstream in the UK.
