Theatre Studios explores the history of the studio model in
England, first established by Konstantin Stanislavsky, Jacques
Copeau and others in the early twentieth century, and later
developed in the UK primarily by Michel Saint-Denis, George Devine,
Michael Chekhov and Joan Littlewood, whose studios are the focus of
this study. Cornford offers in-depth accounts of the radical,
collective work of these leading theatre companies of the
mid-twentieth century, considering the models of ensemble
theatre-making that they developed and their remnants in the newly
publicly-funded UK theatre establishment of the 1960s. In the
process, this book develops an approach to understanding the
politics of artistic practices rooted in the work of John Dewey,
Antonio Gramsci and the standpoint feminists. It concludes by
considering the legacy of the studio movement for
twenty-first-century theatre, partly by tracking its echoes in the
work of Secret Theatre at the Lyric, Hammersmith (2013-2015).
Students and makers of theatre alike will find in this book a
provocative and illuminating analysis of the politics of
performance-making and a history of the theatre as a site for
developing counterhegemonic, radically democratic,
anti-individualist forms of cultural production.
