Taylor & Francis Ltd Creative Women in Ireland
Book SynopsisThrough the contributions of women working in the creative industries, this timely book explores the role of creativity in their lives, the experiences that have positively contributed to and supported their creativity and their work, as well as how gendered considerations intersect with their involvement in the cultural sphere.Spanning psychology, cultural and media studies, and the philosophy of art, it builds on existing research by offering examples of the abundance of creativity residing in women working in film and television, architecture, design, music, theatre, and the performing and visual arts in Ireland. Their reflections offer a valuable counter perspective to the assumption that women are more naturally the muse' than the creator. From these conversations, some common, although at times diverging, experiences in childhood, early career and approaches to their creative work offer important insights into the nature and practice of creativity and the conditions thaTrade Review"The notion of creativity in the arts and creative industries remains poorly analyzed and fraught with unproven assumptions about gender and artistic temperament. O'Driscoll's analysis of the concept of creativity is matched with her valuable interviews with women in diverse areas of artistic practice, persuasively countering the presumption that women possess inferior creative capacities."

Taylor & Francis Giving and Taking Voice in Learning Disabled
Book SynopsisGiving and Taking Voice in Learning Disabled Theatre offers unique insight into the question of âvoiceâ in learning disabled theatre and what is gained and lost in making performance. It is grounded in the author's 18 years of making theatre with Different Light Theatre company in Christchurch, New Zealand, and includes contributions from the artists themselves.This book draws on an extensive archive of performer interviews, recordings of rehearsal processes, and informal logs of travelling together and sharing experience. These accounts engage with the practical aesthetics of theatre-making as well as their much wider ethical and political implications, relevant to any collaborative process seeking to represent the under- or un-represented. Giving and Taking Voice in Learning Disabled Theatre asks how care and support can be tempered with artistic challenge and rigour and presents a case for how listening learning disabled artists to speech encourages attunemTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd AuralOral Dramaturgies
Book SynopsisAural/Oral Dramaturgies: Theatre in the Digital Age focuses on the aural turn' in contemporary theatre-making, examining a number of seemingly disparate trends that foreground speech and sound -- post-verbatim' theatre, ''amplified storytelling'' (works using microphones and headphones), and gig theatre' that incorporates live music performance. Its main argument is that the dramaturgical underpinnings of these works contribute to an understanding of theatre as an extra-literary activity, greater than the centrality of the script that traditionally dominated many historical discussions. This quality is usually expressed in terms of the corporeality in dance and physical theatre, but the aural/oral turn gives an alternative viewpoint on the interplay between text and performance. The book''s case studies draw on the ways in which a range of theatre companies engage with the dramaturgy of speech and sound in their work. It is further accompaniedTrade Review"How does an audience hear a live performance? What are the relationships between speech and sound, polyphony and counterpoint, that generate meaning for a viewer/listener at the theatre? How is theatre as a form situated within the oral and aural domains? In this book, Radosavljević radicalises and reclaims sound as central to the act of theatre-making, and how its aural contours and shapes have changed and are changing new work in amplified storytelling and gig theatre and post-verbatim theatre. This book is thorough, deeply considered, provocative and alters with whispery and sometimes loud insistence on the material, technological and spiritual dimensions of speech and sound in performance. Animated and situated within interstitial cultural and linguistic spaces, Radosavljevic asks their reader to take into account the effect and affect of text and non-text-centered works and artists that are creating pieces that demand acts of replay, rewind and multi-tracking, taking audiences on journeys through spatial and temporal orientation and disorientations in order to achieve new dramaturgical forms. This book is a complex, symphonic work that demands multiple re-readings!" — Caridad Svich, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, USA"Duška Radosavljević’s book gives a critically and creatively rigorous and meta-sensitive analysis of dramaturgical intersections between Post-Verbatim, Amplified Storytelling and Gig Theatre. Operating in-between the disciplinary borderlines – and yet firmly rooted in theatre and performance studies – the book offers a needed discussion on dramaturgical innovations within contemporary sound and speech-based performance-making and its dialogue with digital developments. Radosavljević’s explorations are enriched by her international and multilingual outlook and sensitivity evident in compelling examples, her meta-criticality towards language, and aurality and orality as concepts. The book makes an exemplary case – additionally spelt out in its final section – for interdisciplinarity within theatre research methodology and the ethics of dialogue between oneself, research, artists, and the broad theatre community. It is an academic gift for scholars of all levels. It will also be an invaluable addition to reading lists in modules exploring dramaturgy, digital theatre, contemporary performance making, and research methodologies." — Dr Kasia Lech, Canterbury Christ Church University, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd An Illustrated History of British Theatre and
Book SynopsisAn Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present day. As the most public of arts, theatre constantly interacted with changing social, political and intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach's masterful work restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions of women, gay people and ethnic minorities, as well as the theatres of the English regions, and of Wales and Scotland.Highly illustrated chapters trace the development of theatre through major plays from each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre buildings themselves; and the audience, while also highlighting enduring features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of props.
