Herbert Blau (1926-2013) was the most influential theater theorist,
practitioner, and educator of his generation. He was the leading
American interpreter of the works of Samuel Beckett and as a
director was instrumental in introducing works of the European
avant-garde to American audiences. He was also one of the most
far-reaching and thoughtful American theorists of theater and
performance, and author of influential books such as The Dubious
Spectacle, The Audience, and Take Up the Bodies: Theater at the
Vanishing Point. In The Very Thought of Herbert Blau, distinguished
artists and scholars offer reflections on what made Blau's
contributions so visionary, transformative, and unforgettable, and
why his ideas endure in both seminar rooms and studios. The
contributors, including Lee Breuer, Sue-Ellen Case, Gautam
Dasgupta, Elin Diamond, S. E. Gontarski, Linda Gregerson, Martin
Harries, Bill Irwin, Julia Jarcho, Anthony Kubiak, Daniel Listoe,
Clark Lunberry, Bonnie Marranca, Peggy Phelan, Joseph Roach,
Richard Schechner, Morton Subotnick, Julie Taymor, and Gregory
Whitehead, respond to Blau's fierce and polymorphous intellect, his
relentless drive and determination, and his audacity, his
authority, to think, as he frequently insisted, "at the very nerve
ends of thought.
