  • More about Thinking Through Theatre and Performance

Thinking Through Theatre and Performance offers a unique approach to the study of theatre and performance by focusing on the questions that they are uniquely capable of asking. It is written by leading international scholars and uses detailed discussions and performance examples to explore how theatre and performance can intervene in social, political, and environmental structures and frameworks.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 336 pages
Publication date: 07 February 2019
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


Thinking Through Theatre and Performance presents a groundbreaking and avant-garde approach to the study of theatre and performance. Instead of focusing on topics, genres, histories, or theories, the book begins with the fundamental questions that theatre and performance uniquely possess the ability to ask. How does theatre serve as a space for visual and auditory experiences? How do not only bodies and voices, but also objects and media, perform? How do memories, emotions, and ideas persist after the performance concludes? And how can theatre and performance intervene in social, political, and environmental structures and frameworks? Written by esteemed international scholars, each chapter of this volume is centered around a key performance example, and detailed discussions introduce the methodologies and theories that aid in understanding how these performances constitute practices of inquiry into the world. Thinking Through Theatre and Performance is a must-read for anyone involved in creating, experiencing, critiquing, and studying theatre, as well as for anyone intrigued by the profound questions that theatre and performance pose to themselves and to us.
