This book explores the role and centrality of women in the
development of collaborative theatre practice, alongside the
significance of collective creation and devising in the development
of the modern theatre. Tracing a web of women theatremakers in
Europe and North America, this book explores the connections
between early twentieth century collective theatre practices such
as workers theatre and the dramatic play movement, and the
subsequent spread of theatrical devising. Chapters investigate the
work of the Settlement Houses, total theatre in 1920s' France, the
mid-century avant-garde and New Left collectives, the nomadic
performances of Europe's transnational theatre troupes,
street-theatre protests, and contemporary devising. In so doing,
the book further elucidates a history of modern theatre begun in A
History of Collective Creation (2013) and Collective Creation in
Contemporary Performance (2013), in which the seemingly marginal
and disparate practices of collective creation and devising are
revealed as central-and women theatremakers revealed as progenitors
of these practices.
