Featuring conversations with theatre makers in the US and UK during
the first 8 months of the Covid-19 lockdown, this collection
reveals the innovations in digital theatre as artists, companies
and theatres had to adjust to the restrictions and formulate new
ways of working and reaching audiences. Besides documenting in
their own words the work that was generated, this book captures the
artists' dreams for a new post-Covid reality in which theatre is
reimagined and issues of racial and economic injustice are
addressed. With conversations grouped under 5 broad areas, a host
of theatre makers candidly discuss the present and the future of
theatre: * R/evolution: How should theatre evolve rather than
re-set? What kind of field could this be, if the arts sector is to
survive in the US and UK and if white supremacist, classist,
ableist, and patriarchal structures are dismantled, and acts of
regeneration and reformation occur? * What does theatre look like
at the local and hyper-local level and when working with young
people and communities at risk? * What are the challenges of
creating work in the digital realm and/or exploring socially
distanced performance in new ways? * How may theatre address social
inequalities and be a place for acts of political and artistic
resistance? How has the pandemic galvanised their commitments to
communities, arts advocacy, use of languages on the stage and page,
and considerations of the living archive? * Acts of communion with
audiences, readers, fellow artists, students, and within ensembles
and collectives. How do we find new ways to gather and make when
liveness and the shared experience are challenged?
