In comparison with Literary Studies and Media and Film Studies, the
disciplines of Theatre and Performance, with their strong
anthropocentric heritage, have been relatively slow in responding
to such things as climate change, species extinction, or pollution
and toxicity etc. However, in the wake of recent work on animals,
cyborgs, and objects, as well as publications with a specific focus
on ecology and environment, there are real signs that theatre and
performance scholars are beginning to make their own contribution
to the Environmental Humanities. But if theatre critics are engaged
in new forms of ecocritical analysis, it is worth posing a
pertinent question from the outset: namely, what can theatre do
ecologically? In this book, leading researchers and practitioners
seek to answer that question from a number of perspectives and with
diverse methodologies. Topics include: reflections on rehearsal
processes, scores for performance, site-based interventions, ideas
of conflict, investigations of temporality and time ecology,
ecospectating, and the experience of disappointment. Taken
together, these essays make an important intervention in the
emergent (inter)disciplines of the Environmental Humanities and
further our understanding of the ecological potential of Theatre
and Performance in ways that are cautious, tentative but also
generative. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism.
