Critical Perspectives on Applied Theatre by Jenny Hughes and Helen Nicholson offers fresh insights into the aesthetics, politics, and histories of applied theatre. This collection brings together cutting-edge theoretical perspectives with innovative creative practice from around the world. The book is divided into three sections, exploring themes such as place, community, and environment, and poetics and participation. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how socially engaged art is produced and understood today. This collection will be of interest to researchers and artists working within applied theatre, as well as those studying theatre and performance studies, education, cultural policy, social history, and cultural geography.
