Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid stages, morphing theatre spaces, ambulant spectators, and occasionally disappearing performers: these are some of the key ingredients of nomadic theatre. They are also theatre's response to life in the 21st century, which is increasingly marked by the mobility of people, information, technologies and services. While examining how contemporary theatre exposes and queries this mobile turn in society, Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink introduces the concept of nomadic theatre as a vital tool for analyzing how movement and mobility affect and implicate the theatre, how this makes way for local operations and lived spaces, and how physical movements are stepping stones for theorizing mobility at large. This book focuses on ambulatory performances and performative installations, asking how they stage movement and in turn mobilize the stage. By analyzing the work of leading European artists such as Rimini Protokoll, Dries Verhoeven, Ontroerend Goed, and Signa, Nomadic Theatre demonstrates that mobile performances radically rethink the conditions of the stage and alter our understanding of spectatorship. Nomadic Theatre instigates connections across disciplinary fields and feeds dramaturgical analysis with insights derived from media theory, urban philosophy, cartography, architecture, and game studies. It illustrates how theatre, as a material form of thought, creatively and critically engages with mobile existence both on the stage and in society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, we are witnessing a significant transformation of established forms of spectatorship in theatre, performance art and beyond. In particular, immersive and participatory forms of theatre allow audiences and performers to interact in a shared performance space. Staging Spectators in Immersive Performances discusses forms and concepts of contemporary spectatorship and explores various modes of audience participation in theory as well as in practice. The volume also reflects on what new terms and methods must be developed in order to address the theoretical challenges of contemporary immersive performances. Split into three parts, Staging Spectators in Immersive Performances, respectively, focuses on various strategies for mobilising the audience, methodological questions for research on being a spectator in immersive and participatory forms of theatre, and thematising new modes of partaking and ways of spectating in contemporary art. Poignantly capturing experiences that can be viewed as manifestations of affective relationality in the strongest possible sense, this volume will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Theatre and Performance Studies, Media Studies and Philosophy.

Download or read book Performance and Civic Engagement written by Ananda Breed and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores 'civic engagement' as a politically active encounter between institutions, individuals and art practices that addresses the public sphere on a civic level across physical and virtual spaces. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it tracks across the overlapping discourses of politics, cultural geography and performance, investigating how and why physical and digital spaces can be analysed and utilised to develop new art forms that challenge traditional notions of how performance is political and how politics are performative. Across three sections - Politicising Communities, Applying Digital Agency and Performing Landscapes and Identities - the ten chapters and three interviews cover a wide variety of international perspectives, all informed by innovative ways of addressing the current crisis of social fragmentation through performance. Providing access to many debates on the theory and practice of new media, this book is of significance to readers from a broad set of academic disciplines, including politics, sociology, geography, and performance studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking Through Theatre and Performance presents a bold and innovative approach to the study of theatre and performance. Instead of topics, genres, histories or theories, the book starts with the questions that theatre and performance are uniquely capable of asking: How does theatre function as a place for seeing and hearing? How do not only bodies and voices but also objects and media perform? How do memories, emotions and ideas continue to do their work when the performance is over? And how can theatre and performance intervene in social, political and environmental structures and frameworks? Written by leading international scholars, each chapter of this volume is built around a key performance example, and detailed discussions introduce the methodologies and theories that help us understand how these performances are practices of enquiry into the world. Thinking through Theatre and Performance is essential for those involved in making, enjoying, critiquing and studying theatre, and will appeal to anyone who is interested in the questions that theatre and performance ask of themselves and of us.
Download or read book Nomadic Theatre Staging Movement and Mobility in Contemporary Performance written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study concerns performances that attempt to (physically) mobilise the spectator and rethink the conditions of the stage. Spectators are engaged in promenade performances or walking theatre, for instance, or they traverse the city by bike; they are driven around in wheelchairs or drift across labyrinthine performance installations. Alongside the mobility of the spectator, performers forsake the usual centre-stage position and turn into guides, tour-operators, or voices on an audio-tape. Contrary to the usual conflation with a theatre building, theatre spaces emerge in and as the process of performance, and as temporary situations. This study investigates how ambulatory performances and performative installations stage such movements and in turn mobilise the stage. This leads to enquiring into why some theatre practitioners prefer these mobile forms of theatre making, how these forms address and position the spectators in performance, how mobility is staged and effects the stage, and subsequently, how such movements best can be described.

Book excerpt: There is little about the evolution of Latin American popular theatre, especially New Popular Theatre, that goes unexplored in this interdisciplinary study. The authors re-examine the history of Latin American theatre to focus on the ruse of the Nuevo Teatro Popular, a radical movement of the mid-1960's that combines dormant forms of Latin America theatre with classical European, pre-Columbian and African theatre, modern experimental theatre, and popular culture. Weiss and her colleagues use detailed social, political, and historical information to show the syncretism and contradictory consciousness that has existed in this form of expression in Latin America since the first encounters between Europeans and indigenous Americans.
