Providing thorough coverage of the methods and tools required in
studying historical and contemporary theatre, this introduction
examines the complexities of a rapidly changing and dynamic
discipline. Following a cross-cultural perspective, the book
surveys the ways theatre and performance are studied by looking
initially at key elements such as performers, spectators and space.
The central focus is on methodology, which is divided into sections
covering theatre theory, historiography and textual and performance
analysis. The book covers all the main theatrical genres - drama,
opera and dance - providing students with a comparative, integrated
perspective. Designed to guide students through the academic
dimension of the discipline, the volume emphasizes questions of
methodology, research techniques and approaches, and will therefore
be relevant for a wide variety of theatre studies courses.
Informative textboxes provide background on key topics, and
suggestions for further reading are included at the end of each
chapter.
