Much more than an archive, these are the vivid, still pertinent
voices and messages of the pioneers worldwide. The nineteen
articles chosen by the editors of Applied Theatre Research
represent key themes and elements from the early days of applied
theatre that are still - and indeed now more than ever - relevant.
They are all high-quality articles, some of which were highly
influential in their own time. All of them still have plenty to say
to today's applied theatre, both in their own terms and sometimes
in terms of how their publication influenced the development at the
time of this still-expanding field, or refracted it in ways that
give us new insights with hindsight. They have been arranged in
sections according to some of the key themes - and problematic
issues - that were discovered, thought out and sometimes stumbled
across by the pioneer writers in the collection. Each section is
preceded by a critical editorial commentary on those themes,
besides thorough introductions to all the articles and in some
cases re-evaluations. The editors have added substantial additional
new material to the collection and in doing so, bring their own
applied theatre experience to bear on these themes, as they raise
general questions that are wide-ranging, contemporary and urgent:
from the vital and contested issues of power, partnerships and the
giving of voice through theatre to applied theatre's proactive
response to COVID-19, to the need to identify, take account of and
address the needs of all stakeholders in any applied theatre
project. The articles are grouped in six sections, covering areas
such as diversity of geography, community contexts, forms of
applied theatre and organizational factors that characterize
applied theatre; the definition and nature of applied theatre; how
the best intentioned projects could be compromised by any of the
many opportunities for applied theatre to go wrong; opportunities
for change it can offer and the incorporation of new media
technologies, and ethnographic performance, two factors that have
now become major preoccupations for our field, particularly in the
years since the articles were written. The final section recognizes
that applied theatre has been around not for 30 years, but for
thousands, and in countless cultures. The editorial chapters have
strong connections with the rest of the book, but are written with
the editors' deep insights into the field, and are sharp in their
focus and context. The book offers useful insights into the start
of applied theatre and its development as an area of practice and
research. The chapter collection is relevant and includes
influential names in the field who have contributed significantly
to the development of applied theatre over time. The primary market
will be academics and advanced practitioners in applied theatre,
drama education and theatre studies - including the expanding
fields of drama therapy, theatre and health etc. It will also be
useful for educators exploring creative pedagogy and drama in
education strategies across the curriculum. It will be valuable
introductory background reading for advanced undergraduate and
post-graduate students in drama, theatre studies and theatre arts,
performance studies and community theatre.
