Description

Revelations about the theatrical practice and its evolution.

Insights in Applied Theatre offers an inside look into the advent of applied theatre and its development as an area of practice and research. Much more than an archive, the texts in this collection present vivid, pertinent voices and messages from the pioneers of applied theatre.

The nineteen articles chosen by the editors of Applied Theatre Research represent key themes and elements from the start of the practice. The articles—many of which were influential in their own time—have much to say to the contemporary scene. They have been arranged in sections according to key themes and issues discovered, investigated, and stumbled across by the trailblazing writers in the collection.

A vital new contribution to the field, the book raises questions about the contested issues of power, partnerships, and voice in applied theatre.
