Performance Studies in Motion offers multiple perspectives on the
current field of performance studies and suggests its future
directions. Featuring new essays by pioneers Richard Schechner and
Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, and by international scholars and
practitioners, it shows how performance can offer a new way of
seeing the world, and testifies to the dynamism of this discipline.
Beginning with an overview of the development of performance
studies, the essays offer new insights into: contemporary
experimental and postdramatic theatre; participatory performance
and museum exhibitions; the performance of politicians, political
institutions and grassroots protest movements; theatricality at war
and in contemporary religious rituals, and performative practices
in therapy, education and life sciences. Employing original
reflexive approaches to concrete case studies and situations,
contributors introduce a variety of applications of performance
studies methodologies to contemporary culture, art and society,
creating new interdisciplinary links between the arts, humanities,
and social and natural sciences. With studies from and about places
as diverse as Austria, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Israel,
Korea, Palestine, the Philippines, Poland, Rwanda and the USA,
Performance Studies in Motion showcases the vitality and breadth of
the field today.
