Routledge Participatory Theatre and the Urban Everyday in South Africa

Explore the connection between performance and urban life in this Routledge publication. This book examines theatre and performance as participatory research methods used to study the daily experiences of the city. Using an inner-city suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa, as a central case study, the text looks at how performance acts as both a practical tool and a conceptual lens for understanding urban environments. The author presents a view of space as something constantly evolving. This evolution happens through the ongoing relationship between human and non-human elements. By studying these dynamics, the book offers new paradigms for learning about the city through the lens of theatre. It is a valuable resource for those interested in South African studies, urban sociology, and the performing arts.
