Rezensionen
" The book will fit well in discussions of ethics and applied theatre practice, the politics of psycho/social support in humanitarian interventions, drama therapy, and theatre for social change. But its biggest strength lies in Skeiker's narrations of the practice of applied theatre itself, and so is best suited for students and teachers thinking about how to talk about what they do, how to relate the value of their work, and how to critically assess the strengths and failures of their practice. In providing exactly such an assessment, Skeiker emerges as an honest and seasoned practitioner unfolding his practice for a reader to take notes from and think with. Theatre scholarship in English and Arabic to date hosts very few voices like Skeiker's. His narrative presents a practitioner, thinker, and fellow citizen who is vulnerable yet knowledgeable, experienced and yet thinking critically about the ethics and impact of his work. His book gestures toward a future for applied theatrewith, between, and by Arabic-speaking communities and their neighbors, wherever they find themselves at home."
