Contemporary theatre is going through a period of unparalleled
excitement and challenge. Terms like 'postmodern' and
'postdramatic' have their own contested and defended histories,
while notions of truth in verbatim theatre are open to serious
critical challenge. Theatre writing can result in no words being
spoken and nothing appearing on the page, and productions are
stretching the boundaries of space, place and context like never
before. This revised and significantly expanded edition of New
Performance/New Writing explores immersive and solo theatre,
autoethnography, applied drama, performance writing, plot, story,
narrative and devising. It presents an invaluable response to
questions that arise from new theatre, prompting active reading
that enhances classroom and workshop learning, and improves
productivity in rehearsal. Each chapter explores a key aspect of
theatre study, while an extensive timeline of theatre events gives
a broad overview of its evolution. Case studies on practitioners as
diverse as Kneehigh, Punchdrunk, Mark Ravenhill and Forced
Entertainment are scattered throughout the book, along with
detailed suggestions for workshops, which encourage readers to test
some of the book's ideas in practice.
