As the nature of contemporary performance continues to expand into
new forms, genres and media, it requires an increasingly diverse
vocabulary. Reading Contemporary Performance provides students,
critics and creators with a rich understanding of the key terms and
ideas that are central to any discussion of this evolving
theatricality. Specially commissioned entries from a wealth of
contributors map out the many and varied ways of discussing
performance in all of its forms - from theatrical and site-specific
performances to live and New Media art. The book is divided into
two sections: Concepts - Key terms and ideas arranged according to
the five characteristic elements of performance art: time; space;
action; performer; audience. Methodologies and Turning Points - The
seminal theories and ways of reading performance, such as
postmodernism, epic theatre, feminisms, happenings and animal
studies. Case Studies - entries in both sections are accompanied by
short studies of specific performances and events, demonstrating
creative examples of the ideas and issues in question. Three
different introductory essays provide multiple entry points into
the discussion of contemporary performance, and cross-references
for each entry also allow the plotting of one's own pathway.
Reading Contemporary Performance is an invaluable guide, providing
not just a solid set of familiarities, but an exploration and
contextualisation of this broad and vital field.
