In 'Digging up stories', James Thompson explores the problems of
theatre practice in communities affected by war and exclusion. Each
chapter or 'story' is written in a lively and accessible style and
draws on a range of contemporary performance theories. The chapters
discuss: - participatory theatre in refugee camps - theatre
workshop and stories of a massacre - traditional dance-dramas in an
insurgent controlled village - 'Forum' theatre with the Mahabharata
- ethical issues - the struggle to teach the author to dance
'Digging up stories' documents a range of theatre practice and
includes project reports, ethnographic accounts, performance
analysis and diary-style reflection. Taken from Thompson's research
and practice in Sri Lanka, these diverse examples question the link
between applied theatre, traditional performance and performances
in everyday life. The book blurs lines between research and travel
writing to create rich and provocative accounts of applying theatre
in a troubled setting. -- .
