This book is an overview of narrative in dance and theatre performance, bringing together a range of scholars and creating a critical dialogue for approaching this fundamental topic in performance studies. Includes historical and contemporary examples of a variety of different performance genres.
A far-reaching and engaging overview of the role of narrative in dance and theatre performance, bringing together chapters written by an international range of scholars and subsequently creating a critical dialogue for approaching this fundamental topic within performance studies. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples of a variety of different performance genres, the book will provide a method for exploring the context of a particular form or artist and enhance students’ ability to critically reflect on performance.
Unlike many anthologies, this collection is hard to put down. Reading the work of these scholar-artists cover to cover brings one into a conversation that is vital and necessary and deeply rewarding. * Ray Miller, Appalachian State University, USA *
This book asks a lot of essential questions. It asks that we reflect on narratives written on and in bodies, that we challenge narratives of cultural, historical and political identification and it questions how narratives of creativity might appropriate, subvert and re-write those stories. * Louie Jenkins, University of Chichester, UK *
