How did the concept of the avant-garde come into existence? How did
it impact on the performing arts? How did the avant-garde challenge
the artistic establishment and avoid the pull of commercial
theatre, gallery and concert-hall circuits? How did performance
artists respond to new technological developments? Placing key
figures and performances in their historical, social and aesthetic
context, Gunter Berghaus offers an accessible introduction to
post-war avant-garde performance. Written in a clear, engaging
style, and supported by text boxes and illustrations throughout,
this volume explains the complex ideas behind avant-garde art and
evocatively brings to life the work of some of its most influential
performance artists. Covering hot topics such as multi-media and
body art performances, this text is essential reading for students
of theatre studies and performance.
