"Making Contemporary Theatre" reveals how some of the most
significant international contemporary theatre is actually made.
The book opens with an introductory chapter which contextualizes
recent trends in approaches to theatre-making. In the ensuing
eleven chapters, eleven different writer-observers describe,
contextualize and analyze the theatre-making practices of eleven
different companies and directors, including Japan's Gekidan
Kaitaisha and the Quebecois director Robert Lepage. Each chapter is
enriched with extensive illustrations as well as boxed-off
"asides," giving the reader different perspectives on the work.
Chapters usually focus on a single production, such as Complicite's
2003-04 "The Elephant Vanishes," allowing detailed investigations
of complex practices to emerge. The book concludes with a brief
manifesto for making contemporary theatre by the editors, plus a
bibliography suggesting further reading. Making contemporary
theatre is a rich resource for the theatre-making student and the
theatre--goer alike, full of diverse examples of how the most
exciting theatre is actually made.
