Live performance continues to be created every time it is
performed. This book explores the dynamic relationship between
creative process, presentation and spectator response to provide
students and scholars in Drama with new insights on performance
from poetry to pantomime.
These essays make parallels between areas of performance that are
rarely, if ever, compared. They present the basis for an overall
theory of how 'conception', 'development', 'presentation' and
'reception' are fused together to make up the overall
'performance'. This study investigates the relationship between the
process of creating performance and spectator response, and how
this exchange is embedded into the product itself.
The authors draw on theoretical approaches from a range of sources,
and examine the work of contemporary dramatists, choreographers,
poets and performers including:
- Sarah Kane
- Iain Baxter
- Yolande Snaith
- Slobodan Snajder
- Phylis Nagy
- Steve Benson
- David Fielding
- David Antin
- Bette Midler
- Karen Malpede
- Stephen Daldry
- Mai Lanfang
Its construction of a new, wide-ranging approach to performance
research makes this book a valuable resource for the student as
well as the broader academic community. It has application both as
a textbook and for supplementary research on drama courses
nationwide.
