Rezensionen

"This is an excellently structured and written book which clearly gives a context for community performance whilst invigorating this theory and history with illustrations of practice which are engaging and informing. The book allows the reader to feel guided as they reflect on their own work or imagine and plan work for the future. It covers a vast amount of ground, connects distinct areas of practice, doesn't assume a particular knowledge and places faith in the reader to develop their own knowledge through the practice of the exercises outlined in the book. It is a very useful, engaging book that could be returned to time and again, as people reflect and develop their own practice."
