Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Farce on the Global Stage
Book SynopsisContemporary Farce on the Global Stage provides audiences and practitioners a detailed survey of how the genre of farce has evolved in the 21st century. Often dismissed as frivolous, farce speaks a universal language, with the power to incisively interrogate our world through laughter.Unlike farces of the past, where a successful resolution was a given and we could laugh uproariously at adulterous behaviour, farce no longer guarantees an audience a happy ending where everything works out. Contemporary farce is no longer diverting us' with laughter. It is reflecting the fractured world around us. With a foreword by award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig, the book introduces readers to the Mechanics of Farce, and the Four Ps,' which are key elements for understanding, appreciating, and exploring the form. The Five Doors to Contemporary Farce identify five major categories into which farces fall. Behind each door are a wide selection of plays, modern and contemporary examp

Taylor & Francis Ltd Performance Studies The Basics
Book SynopsisPerformance Studies: The Basics offers an overview of the multiple, often overlapping definitions of performance, from performance art, performance as everyday life, and rituals, to the performative dimensions of identity, such as gender, race and sexuality. This book defines the interdisciplinary field of performance studies as it has evolved over the past four decades at the intersection of academic scholarship and artistic and activist practices. It discusses performance as an important means of communicating and of understanding the world, highlighting its intersections with critical theory and arguing for the importance of performance in the study of human behaviour and social practices.Complete with a helpful glossary and bibliography, as well as suggestions for further reading, this book is an ideal starting point for those studying performance studies as well as for general readers with an interest in the subject.Trade Review'If you are looking for rigorous, accessible and bracingly contemporary answers to the "what", "how" and "why" of performance studies, you will find them in Performance Studies: The Basics. This meticulous introduction outlines the field’s complex and contested genealogies, its theoretical infrastructures, and its methodological possibilities. It efficiently and evocatively captures performance studies’ scope, models its ethical commitments, and details its diversity: a "must-read" for students and faculty from high school to grad school.'—Judith Hamera, Princeton University'This book is a necessity and an inspiration to read from the high school classroom to the university seminar, from the dramatic stage to the lecture podium, and from those who are new to performance studies to those who founded the field. The brilliance of the book is its breadth and depth enhanced by its clarity. Micu opens new questions on the intersections of performance theory and everyday life, on performance history and social activism, and on how performance methods can both change and connect us in the ways we make social life and worlds. This book is a treasure. I wish Performance Studies: The Basics was available to me (or one just like it) during my fifty years of teaching theatre and performance studies. I am grateful to learn from it now.'—D.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Beyonce and Beyond
Book SynopsisThis book examines three years of Beyoncé's career as a pop mega star using critical race, feminist and performance studies methodologies.The book explores how the careful choreography of Beyoncé's image, voice and public persona, coupled with her intelligent use of audio and visual mediums, makes her one of the most influential entertainers of the 21st century. Keleta-Mae proposes that 2013 to 2016 was a pivotal period in Beyoncé's career and looks at three artistic projects that she created during that time: her self-titled debut visual album Beyoncé, her video and live performance of Formation, and her second visual album Lemonade. By examining the progression of Beyoncé's career during this period, and the impact it had culturally and socially, the author demonstrates how Beyoncé brought 21st century feminism into the mainstream through layered explorations of female blackness.Ideal for scholars and students of performance in the social and politiTable of ContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Anthology of Womens Theatre Theory and Dramatic Criticism
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Anthology of Women''s Theatre Theory and Dramatic Criticism is the first wide-ranging anthology of theatre theory and dramatic criticism by women writers. Reproducing key primary documents contextualized by short essays, the collection situates women's writing within, and also reframes the field's male-defined and male-dominated traditions. Its collection of documents demonstrates women's consistent and wide-ranging engagement with writing about theatre and performance and offers a more expansive understanding of the forms and locations of such theoretical and critical writing, dealing with materials that often lie outside established production and publication venues. This alternative tradition of theatre writing that emerges allows contemporary readers to form new ways of conceptualizing the field, bringing to the fore a long-neglected, vibrant, intelligent, deeply informed, and expanded canon that generates a new era of scholarship, learning, and artTable of Contents1.
