There has been a significant growth in initiatives involving
theatre, drama and performance within a science communication
context. Yet there is little scholarship exploring this phenomenon
from a science communication perspective. Weitkamp and Almeida draw
on their distinct experiences with theatre in the context of
science communication to delve into initiatives created through
dialogue between the arts and the sciences for the purpose of
public engagement. Entering into the space where museums,
universities and research centres operate, as well as the space of
theatre practitioners, they explore the richness and plurality of
this universe, combining theory and practice, as well as presenting
context, knowledge gaps and new data. Acknowledging that the place
of drama, theatre and performance within science communication is
one which is uniquely influenced by local cultural practices,
discourses and expectations, the authors take a global perspective.
Firstly by analysing data from an international survey of
practitioners and secondly by curating a collection of case studies
on science-theatre projects undertaken around the world. The
chapters illustrate the diversity of forms and content that
comprises contemporary science-theatre in this context and
characterise theatre produced within the scope of science
communication, placing it more precisely in the broader context of
science-theatre.
