Description

About the Author Mike Vanden Heuvel is Professor of Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Product Description Across two volumes, Mike Vanden Heuvel and a strong roster of contributors present the history, processes, and achievements of American theatre companies renowned for their use of collective and/or ensemble-based techniques to generate new work. This first study considers theatre companies that were working between 1970 and 1995: it traces the rise and eventual diversification of activist-based companies that emerged to serve particular constituencies from the countercultural politics of the 1960s, and examines the shift in the 1980s that gave rise to the next generation of company-based work, rooted in a new interest in form and the more mediated and dispersed forms of politics. Ensembles examined are Mabou Mines, Theatre X, Goat Island, Lookingglass, Elevator Repair Service, and SITI Company.Preliminary chapters provide a sweeping overview of ensemble-based creation within the general historical and cultural contexts of the period, followed by a detailed study of the evolution of ensemble-based work. The case studies consider factors such as influence, funding, production, and legacies, as well as the forms of collective devising and creation, while surveying the continuing work of significant long-running companies.Contributors provide detailed case studies of the 6 companies from the period and cover:* A chronicle of development and methods* Key productions and projects* Critical reception and legacy* A chronological overview of significant productionsFrom the long history of collective theatre creation, with its sources in social crises, urgent aesthetic experimentation and utopian dreaming, American ensemble-based theatre has emerged at several key points in history to challenge the primacy of author-based and director-produced theatre. As the volume demonstrates, US ensemble companies have collectively revolutionized the form and content of contemporary performance, influencing experimental, as well as mainstream practice. Review A long-awaited examination of US-based ensemble theatres, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of experimental collectives that developed between 1970 and 1975. The discussion is infused with a wide range of critical perspectives and creative voices and contributes significantly to the field of avant-garde and contemporary theatre studies. --Julia Listengarten, University of Central Florida, USA
