Description
Thinking Through Theatre and Performance presents a bold approach to studying theatre and performance. It explores how these art forms function as places for seeing and hearing, and how they use bodies, voices, objects, and media to perform. The book delves into the ways memories, emotions, and ideas continue to work after a performance is over. Written by leading international scholars, each chapter focuses on a key performance example, introducing methodologies and theories that help understand these performances as practices of enquiry into the world. This book will appeal to those involved in making, enjoying, critiquing, or studying theatre, and invites readers to consider the questions that theatre and performance ask of themselves and of us.
