Taylor & Francis Ltd Detox Your Writing
Book SynopsisThere are a number of books which aim to help doctoral researchers write the PhD. This book offers something different - the scholarly detox. This is not a faddish alternative, it's not extreme. It's a moderate approach intended to gently interrupt old ways of doing things and establish new habits and orientations to writing the PhD.The book addresses the problems that most doctoral researchers experience at some time during their candidature being unclear about their contribution, feeling lost in the literature, feeling like an imposter, not knowing how to write with authority, wanting to edit rather than revise. Each chapter addresses a problem, suggests an alternative framing, and then offers strategies designed to address the real issue. Detox Your Writing is intended to be a companionable work book something doctoral researchers can use throughout their doctorate to ask questions about taken-for-granted ways of writing and reading, and to deTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Taylor & Francis Mike Bartlett
Book SynopsisHailed as one of the most talented playwrights to have emerged in the late 2000s, Mike Bartlett's diverse range of plays strike at the heart of the various crises predominant in the early twenty-first century. Offering the first extensive examination of the plays and television series written by award winning playwright Mike Bartlett, this volume not only provides analysis of some of Bartlettâs best-known works (Cock, Doctor Foster, King Charles III, and Albion), but also includes new interviews with Bartlett and some of his closest and oft relied upon collaborators. In this book, Bartlettâs plays and television series are grouped together thematically, allowing the reader to observe the cross-pollination between his works on the stage and screen. The book also includes an introductory biographical chapter that discusses early influences on his writing (Harold Pinter, Mark Ravenhill, Tony Kushner, and Quentin Tarantino), his time in the Young Writers Programme at the Royal Court, and his work with the Apathists.Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists is a series of innovative and exciting critical introductions to the work of internationally pioneering playwrights, giving undergraduate students an ideal point of entry into these key figures in modern drama.

Taylor & Francis Decentered Playwriting
Book SynopsisDecentered Playwriting investigates new and alternative strategies for dramatic writing that incorporate non-Western, Indigenous, and underrepresented storytelling techniques and traditions while deepening a creative practice that decenters hegemonic methods.A collection of short essays and exercises by leading teaching artists, playwrights, and academics in the fields of playwriting and dramaturgy, this book focuses on reimagining pedagogical techniques by introducing playwrights to new storytelling methods, traditions, and ways of studying, and teaching diverse narratological practices.This is a vital and invaluable book for anyone teaching or studying playwriting, dramatic structure, storytelling at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, or as part of their own professional practice.Trade Review"One of the great challenges for 21st century writers is how one forges one's own poetics to resist the 'realistic', well-made play, and the strictures of Aristotle and Stanislavski. How can we write for our communities and embrace the rich legacies of non-Aristotelian practice? What extraordinary conversations are gathered here in these pages."Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of How I Learned to Drive and Indecent, USA"This is the kind of playwriting education I wish that I would have had. It makes me excited for the next generation of theater makers who will emerge from studying this book."Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota), MacArthur Fellow and playwright of The Thanksgiving Play, USA"This book offers us a radically hopeful vision of how we might teach playwriting—and think about the well-making of plays—if we wish to disrupt the relationship between systems of oppression and systems of theatre-making."Megan Sandberg-Zakian, Artistic Director, Boston Playwrights’ Theatre and Boston University MFA Playwriting Program, USA"Decentered Playwriting represents an extraordinary gathering of diverse scholars and artists, all posing fundamental questions about how drama might be conceived and created above, beyond, and without the hegemony of Aristotelian thinking. The collection addresses a deeply felt pedagogical need that has been left untended for far too long, and in this respect promises to become an essential text in the teaching of playwriting and dramaturgy."Art Borreca, Associate Professor and Co-Director of Iowa Playwrights Workshop and MFA Programs in Playwriting & Dramaturgy, USA"Decentered Playwriting leaps over the anxiety and reductive thinking swirling around our 'diversity problem' by showing how much we all have to gain by decolonizing our craft. There’s no theater maker or theater educator in this country not wrestling in some way with these issues right now. This book offers a revelatory and practical vision of the way forward."Lisa Kron, Tony Award-winning lyricist of Fun Home, USA"An invaluable resource for those looking to depart from received ways of play-making, either in pursuit of new collaborative approaches or alternative forms of storytelling. This will be a useful guidebook for those venturing off the beaten path."Alex McLean, Zuppa Theatre, CanadaTable of ContentsPart 1: Decenter(Ed) Playwriting: Alternative Tools, Techniques, and Structures; 1.
