Description
Exploring the evolution of devised performance from early 20th-century experiments to radical contemporary practices, Making a Performance examines how performance-makers have built upon past aesthetic traditions. This study draws on diverse companies such as Legs on the Wall, Forced Entertainment and Goat Island to illustrate how practitioners challenge orthodoxies and develop new theatrical languages.
Designed for both scholars and practitioners, this introduction offers clear, practical examples of key concepts and ideas that shape vibrant and experimental practices in contemporary performance. By tracing innovations in devised performance, Making a Performance provides valuable insights into the development of innovative theatrical languages.
