Acting Together places before us the human story unfolding. It invites us to penetrate through the mask to the source and the vibrating essence of voice on the journey to find our way back to humanity. >An invaluable resource for the community of practitioners, students, scholars, and activists who are interested in the role of the arts in overcoming the worst of contemporary violence, war, and disaster. >Thanks to the courageous creativity of the theatre artists across the world who have been willing to share their practice, we in Northern Ireland have new tools to help us excavate our truths and our troubled pasts, to speak to them and to dare to envision a future where our broken world will be healed. >This book opens even narrowly focused minds to understanding how our global capacity to dream, touch, dance, and feel is a power source, one able to move people from what they know to what they can know, from what they have been told or forced to be to what they can become. >This publication is long overdue and will serve theatre students, directors, foundations, community-based theatres, and artist-based theatres as a much-needed guide to the complex, multilayered world of intercultural performance and conflict resolution. >A significant addition to an emerging field of expertise--performance and conflict. It is difficult not to be inspired by the sheer diversity and versatility of the practices explored. >Acting Together will shift perspectives and change lives. It could transform the trajectory of human conflicts. >Acting Together volumes I and II and the feature-length documentary film, Acting Together on the World Stage, are projects of Peacebuilding and the Arts, a program of the International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life at Brandeis University, in collaboration with Theatre Without Borders.
