Description
Disobedient Theatre offers a fresh perspective on what makes theatre powerful and effective. Drawing from theory and practice, Chris Johnston explores the principles and tools that shape disobedient theatre, including games and exercises for creative practitioners. The book is divided into two parts, examining both the broader cultural context of disobedient theatre and its practical application in creating new work. Part One provides a lexicon defining the spirit and impulse of disobedient theatre, while Part Two illustrates how these principles can be worked out in practice through hands-on approaches and exercises. This book is for anyone interested in what makes theatre impactful, including artists, thinkers, activists, and those who believe in the power of art to shape society.
