Description

This book explores a range of contemporary performance practices that engage spectators physically and emotionally through active engagement and critical involvement. It considers how risk has been re-configured, re-presented and re-packaged for new audiences with a thirst for performances that promote, encourage and embrace risky encounters in a variety of forms. The collection brings together established voices on performance and risk research and draws them into conversation with next generation academic-practitioners in a dynamic reappraisal of what it means to risk oneself through the act of making and participating in performance practice. It takes into account the work of other performance scholars for whom risk and precarity are central concerns, but seeks to move the debate forwards in response to a rapidly changing world where risk is higher on the political, economic and cultural agenda than ever before. Review “This is a wide-reaching and timely volume with a firm focus on twenty-first century performance. Traversing applied, socially-engaged and experimental practices, and featuring a broad range of perspectives by theorists and practising scholars, it marks out unique opportunities at the disposal of theatre and performance makers to explore vulnerability and precarity in a century already plagued by catastrophe.” (Adam Alston, Lecturer in Theatre and Performance Studies, University of Surrey, UK) From the Back Cover This book explores a range of contemporary performance practices that engage spectators physically and emotionally through active engagement and critical involvement.
