Taylor & Francis Postdramatic Theatre
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.

Taylor & Francis MultiMedia Video Installation Performance
Multi-media charts the development of multi-media video, installation and performance in a unique dialogue between theoretical analysis and specially commissioned documentations by some of the worldâs foremost artists. Nick Kaye explores the interdisciplinary history and character of experimental practices shaped in exchanges between music, installation, theatre, performance art, conceptual art, sculpture and video. The book sets out key themes and concerns in multi-media practice, addressing time, space, the resurgence of ephemerality, liveness and âauraâ. These chapters are interspersed with documentary artwork and essays by artists whose work continues to shape the field, including new articles from: Vito Acconci The Builders Association John Jesurun Pipilotti Rist Fiona Templeton. Multi-media also reintroduces a major documentary essay by Paolo Rosa of Studio Azzurro in a new, fully illust

Taylor & Francis Ltd Disability and Contemporary Performance Bodies on
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 Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation
Book Synopsis'Kidnie's study presents original, sophisticated, and profoundly intelligent answers to important questions.' - Lukas Erne, University of Geneva'This is a fine and productive book, one that will surely draw significant attention and commentary well beyond the precincts of Shakespeare studies.' - W.B. Worthen, Columbia UniversityShakespeareâs plays continue to be circulated on a massive scale in a variety of guises â as editions, performances, and adaptations â and it is by means of such mediation that we come to know his drama. Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation addresses fundamental questions about this process of mediation, making use of the fraught category of adaptation to explore how we currently understand the Shakespearean work. To adapt implies there exists something to alter, but what constitutes the category of the âplayâ, and how does it relate to adaptation? How do âplayâ and âadaptationâ relate to dramaâs twin media, text and performance? What impact might answers to these questions have on current editorial, performance, and adaptation studies? Margaret Jane Kidnie argues that âplayâ and âadaptationâ are provisional categories - mutually dependent processes that evolve over time in accordance with the needs of users. This theoretical argument about the identity of works and the nature of text and performance is pursued in relation to diverse examples, including theatrical productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the BBCâs ShakespeaRe-Told, the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and recent print editions of the complete works. These new readings build up a persuasive picture of the cultural and intellectual processes that determine how the authentically Shakespearean is distinguished from the fraudulent and adaptive. Adaptation thus emerges as the conceptually necessary but culturally problematic category that results from partial or occasional failures to recognize a shifting work in its textual-theatrical instance.Trade Review'Kidnie's study presents original, sophisticated and profoundly intelligent answers to important questions. Its scope is ambitious and requires a set of skills which few Shakespearean scholars possess: unusually, Kidnie is as much at home in performance studies and in textual studies; she is keenly attuned to the practicalities of actual performances as well as to the theorization of performancel she is incisive on political issues relating to contemporary dramatic writings as on the questions of how media impact the production of Shakespeare.' - English StudiesTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Surviving performance; Chapter 3 Defining the work through production, or what adaptation is not; Chapter 4 Entangled in the present; Chapter 5 Adapting media; Chapter 6 Textual origins;
