Description
Performance Affects explores performance projects in disaster and war zones to argue that joy, beauty and celebration should be the inspiration for the politics of community-based or participatory performance practice.
The author seeks to realign the field of Applied Theatre away from its traditional focus on effects towards an affective role, connected to sensations of pleasure. This new approach aims to create a more positive and empowering form of community engagement through performance.
