draws on a career of groundbreaking research and work within the

impact of how differing genres of theatre respond to social
"calls." Areas highlighted include: playwrighting and the engaged
artist theatre of the oppressed performance as testimonial the
place of engaged art in cultural organizing the use of local
resources in engaged art revitalizing cities and neighborhoods
through engaged performance training of the engaged artist.
Cohen-Cruz also draws on the work of major theoreticians, including
Bertolt Brecht, Augusto Boal, and Doreen Massey, as well as
analyzing in-depth case studies of the work of US practitioners
today to illustrate engaged performance in action. Jan Cohen-Cruz
