Description

Explore the deep connection between art and society with The Politics of Performance: Radical Theatre as Cultural Intervention. Published by Routledge, this book investigates the social and political purposes of performance by looking at post-war alternative and community theatre. It introduces a theory of performance as an ideological transaction and a form of community action. This perspective helps readers understand how radical performance practices can create real social and political effects. By examining alternative theatre as a movement, the text looks at different production styles and how they relate to progressive counter-cultural formations. This work is an essential resource for those studying how theatre acts as a tool for cultural intervention. It provides a detailed analysis of how performance can move beyond simple entertainment to become a means of active social engagement.
