Weitkamp and Almeida's book explores the richness and plurality of this universe, combining theory and practice, and presenting context, knowledge gaps, and new data. It acknowledges that the place of drama, theatre, and performance within science communication is uniquely influenced by local cultural practices, discourses, and expectations and takes a global perspective by analyzing data from an international survey and curating a collection of case studies on science-theatre projects undertaken around the world. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 August 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been a notable surge in initiatives that incorporate theater, drama, and performance within the realm of science communication. However, there exists limited scholarly exploration of this phenomenon from a science communication perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeitkamp and Almeida, drawing from their distinct backgrounds in theater within the context of science communication, delve into initiatives that arise through dialogue between the arts and sciences, with the ultimate goal of engaging the public. They venture into the spaces occupied by museums, universities, research centers, as well as the realm of theater practitioners, exploring the vastness and diversity of this universe. By seamlessly blending theory and practice, they provide context, identify knowledge gaps, and present new data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecognizing that the position of drama, theater, and performance within science communication is uniquely shaped by local cultural practices, discourses, and expectations, the authors adopt a global perspective. Firstly, they analyze data from an international survey of practitioners, and secondly, they curate a collection of case studies on science-theater projects undertaken across the globe. The chapters in this book vividly illustrate the diverse range of forms and content that constitute contemporary science-theater within this context, while also characterizing theater produced within the realm of science communication, placing it within a broader context of science-theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 478g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 239 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800436411\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EmmaWeitkamp,Carla, Brazil) Almeida","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096476709114,"sku":"9781800436411","price":70.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1660939691964_book.jpg?v=1661254528","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/science-theatre-communicating-science-and-technology-with-performing-arts-9781800436411","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
