Description

The Twentieth-Century Performance Reader serves as a foundational text for anyone studying the evolution of performance art. For over fifteen years, this book has been a primary resource for students, researchers, and practitioners looking to understand the diverse landscape of modern performance. This revised third edition expands its scope to include significant contributions from the world of music, providing a broader perspective on how different art forms connect. This essential sourcebook brings together extracts from more than fifty practitioners, critics, and theorists. By covering fields such as dance, drama, music, theatre, and live art, it offers a comprehensive view of the twentieth century.
