Re-Framing the Theatrical (eBook, PDF)

Interdisciplinary Landscapes for Performance

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Oddey questions the role of the spectator and director, and the nature of art works and performance. She provocatively demonstrates the spectator as centre of the artistic experience, a new kind of making theatre-art, revealing its spirit and nature; searching for space and contemplation in a hectic twenty-first century landscape.

Rezensionen

'Alison Oddey - a highly regarded performance scholar - broke new ground with her first book on devising for theatre. In this latest intervention, Re-Framing the Theatrical , she makes some radical claims about performance, discussing spirituality, silence in performance, and the emergence of the spectator as performer-protagonist: key themes in contemporary practice and emerging theory.' - Professor Lizbeth Goodman, SMARTlab, University of East London
