La Pocha Nostra: A Handbook for the Rebel Artist in a
Post-Democratic Society marks a transformation from its sister
book, Exercises for Rebel Artists, into a pedagogical matrix suited
for use as a performance handbook and conceptual tool for artists,
activists, theorists, pedagogues, and trans-disciplinary border
crossers of all stripes. Featuring a newly reworked outline of La
Pocha Nostra's overall pedagogy, and how it has evolved in the time
of Trump, cartel violence, and the politics of social media, this
new handbook presents deeper explanations of the interdisciplinary
pedagogical practices developed by the group that has been labeled
"the most influential Latino/a performance troupe of the past ten
years." Co-written by Guillermo Gomez-Pena in collaboration with La
Pocha Nostra's artistic co-director Saul Garcia-Lopez and edited by
Paloma Martinez-Cruz, this highly anticipated follow-up volume
raises crucial questions in the new neo-nationalist era. Drawing on
field experience from ten years of touring, the authors blend
original methods with updated and revised exercises, providing new
material for teachers, universities, radical artists, curators,
producers, and students. This book features: Introductions by the
authors and editor to Pocha Nostra practice in a post-democratic
society. Theoretical, historical, poetic, and pedagogical contexts
for the methodology. Suggestions for how to use the book in the
classroom and many other scenarios. Detailed, hands-on exercises
for using Pocha Nostra-inspired methods in workshops. A
step-by-step guide to creating large-scale group performances. New,
unpublished photos of the Pocha Nostra methods in practice.
Additional texts by Reverend Billy and Savitri D., Dragonfly,
Francesca Carol Rolla, VestAndPage, Micha Espinosa, Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto, Praba Pilar, L. M. Bogad, Anuradha Vikram, and Annie
Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, among many others. The book is
complemented by the new book Gomez-Pena Unplugged: Texts on Live
Art, Social Practice and Imaginary Activism (2008-2019).
