Description
Performance Theory explores the connections between Western and non-Western cultures, theatre, dance, anthropology, ritual, performance in everyday life, rites of passage, play, psychotherapy and shamanism. Richard Schechner's work challenges conventional definitions of these subjects, revealing drama as a multifaceted phenomenon that occurs on many different levels.
Schechner examines the intersections between these fields, offering insights into the nature of meaning, ritual, and performance in various contexts. This seminal collection is a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which theatre and performance intersect with our everyday lives.
