    Book SynopsisNewly adapted for the Anglophone reader, this is an excellent translation of Hans-Thies Lehmannâs groundbreaking study of the new theatre forms that have developed since the late 1960s, which has become a key reference point in international discussions of contemporary theatre.In looking at the developments since the late 1960s, Lehmann considers them in relation to dramatic theory and theatre history, as an inventive response to the emergence of new technologies, and as an historical shift from a text-based culture to a new media age of image and sound.Engaging with theoreticians of 'drama' from Aristotle and Brecht, to Barthes and Schechner, the book analyzes the work of recent experimental theatre practitioners such as Robert Wilson, Tadeusz Kantor, Heiner MÃller, the Wooster Group, Needcompany and Societas Raffaello Sanzio. Illustrated by a wealth of practical examples, and with an introduction by Karen JÃrs-Munby providing useful theoretical and arTrade Review'This is a provocative, illuminating and stimulating book that will undoubtedly become as essential a text in English theatre scholarship as it already has in continental Europe.' – Marvin Carlson, Theatre Research International'This groundbreaking study [is] an inventive response to the emergence of new technologies.' - International Theatre Informations'This is an important book, already elbowing its way into the forefront of English-language critical discourse on theatre...' --TDR'This is a provocative, illuminating and stimulating book that will undoubtedly become as essential a text in English theatre scholarship as it already has in continental Europe.' – Marvin Carlson, Theatre Research International'this groundbreaking study [is] an inventive response to the emergence of new technologies' - International Theatre InformationsTable of ContentsPreface to the English Edition 1.

    Book SynopsisDisability and Contemporary Performance presents a remarkable challenge to existing assumptions about disability and artistic practice. In particular, it explores where cultural knowledge about disability leaves off, and the lived experience of difference begins. Petra Kuppers, herself an award-winning artist and theorist, investigates the ways in which disabled performers challenge, change and work with current stereotypes through their work. She explores freak show fantasies and ''medical theatre'' as well as live art, webwork, theatre, dance, photography and installations, to cast an entirely new light on contemporary identity politics and aesthetics. This is an outstanding exploration of some of the most pressing issues in performance, cultural and disability studies today, written by a leading practitioner and critic.Trade Review"'Timely and much needed. As a dancer, choreographer, community workshop artist, and top-notch scholar, Kuppers is uniquely qualified to address the myriad issues that arise when putting disability studies and performance studies into dialogue with one another.' - Carrie Sandahl, Florida State University"Table of ContentsList of figures, Acknowledgements, Figure acknowledgements, Performance and disability: An introduction, 1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Susan Glaspell and Sophie Treadwell

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSusan Glaspell and Sophie Treadwell presents critical introductions to two of the most significant American dramatists of the early twentieth century. Glaspell and Treadwell led American Theatre from outdated melodrama to the experimentation of great European playwrights like Ibsen, Strindberg and Shaw. This is the first book to deal with Glaspell and Treadwell's plays from a theatrical, rather than literary, perspective, and presents a comprehensive overview of their work from lesser known plays to seminal productions of Trifles and Machinal. Although each woman pursued her own themes, subjects and manner of stage production, this shared volume underscores the theatrical and cultural conditions influencing female playwrights in modern America. Trade Review'A dense, wellconsidered, and valuable starting point for interested scholars, directors, or instructors unfamiliar with the existing body of scholarship on Treadwell and Glaspell.' –Theatre Survey'a useful handbook, covering the lives, careers, works, production histories, and existing criticism of these two women. The resulting work is a dense, well-considered, and valuable starting point for interested scholars, directors, or instructors unfamiliar with the existing body of scholarship on Treadwell and Glaspell.' – Theatre Survey'succinctness here is characteristic of the book as a whole, and is one of its strengths' – Theatre Survey'a concise introduction to the lives, works, and criticism of these important American dramatists' – Theatre SurveyTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: Susan Glaspell Life and Politics Key Plays I: The shorter plays – genesis and criticism Key Plays II: The full-length plays – genesis and criticism Key Plays III: The Feminist Appropriation of Trifles Key Plays in Production: The Verge Part 2: Sophie Treadwell Life and Politics Key Plays I: The early plays – genesis and criticism Key Plays II: Broadway plays – genesis and criticism Key Plays in Production I: Machinal – stagings and critical response Key Plays in Production II: Intimations for Saxophone Chronology Bibliography Index
