Though development researchers have proven that the participation
of women is necessary for effective sustainable development,
development practitioners still largely lack culturally
appropriate, gender-sensitive tools for including women, especially
women living in poverty. Current tools used in the development
approach often favour the skill set of the development practitioner
and are a mismatch with the traditional, gendered knowledge and
skills many women who are living in poverty do have. This study
explores three case studies from India, Ethiopia, and the Guatemala
that have successfully used applied theatre for women's
participation in sustainable development. This interdisciplinary
book has the opportunity to be the first to bring together the
theory, scholarship and practice of theatre for women's
participation in sustainable development in an international
context. This work will be of great interest to scholars and
practitioners in a wide variety of fields who are looking for
creative solutions for utilizing the contributions of women for
solving our global goals to live in a sustainable way on this one
planet in a just and equitable manner.
This comprehensive book explores the Malaysian form of shadow
puppet theatre, highlighting its unique nature within the context
of Southeast Asian and Asian shadow puppet theatre traditions.
Intended for a Western audience not familiar with Asian performance
and practices, the text serves as a bridge to this highly
imaginative form. An in-depth examination of the Malaysian puppet
tradition is provided, as well as performance scripts, designs for
puppet characters, instructions for creating a shadow screen, and
easy directions for performance. Another section then considers the
practical, pedagogical, and ethical issues that arise in the
teaching of this art.
This book focuses on Shine, a musical performance about how energy,
humanity, and climate are interrelated. Weaving together climate
science and artistic expression, it results in a funny and powerful
story spanning 300 million years. The first half is professionally
scripted, composed, and choreographed to convey how our use of
fossil fuels is impacting our climate. The second half - our future
story - is authored by local youth to generate solutions for their
city's resilience. In rehearsing the musical, participants
themselves embody aspects of climate science and human development.
Ultimately, it demonstrates that performance can be a dynamic tool
for youth to contribute to their community's resilience. Educators
can use this book to guide youth in creative expression based on
(or inspired by) Shine. Included are the script, links to the music
and video of the performance, materials for building curricula,
interviews with collaborators, and lessons learned along Shine's
year-long international tour.

The seven plays to date of Yasmina Reza, one of France's most
prominent female playwrights, are popular both in France and
abroad. Despite her commercial success, her plays have often been
ignored in academic circles, and few scholars have attempted to
explore the mechanics of her playwriting. This text seeks to unpack
the essentials of Reza's style and to explore each play as a
component of Reza's theatrical oeuvre. The result is a fuller
understanding of her theatrical poetics and her development as an
artist.
A groundbreaking, cross-cultural reference work exploring the
diversity of expression found in rituals, festivals, and
performances, uncovering acting techniques and practices from
around the world. Acting: An International Encyclopedia explores
the amazing diversity of dramatic expression found in rituals,
festivals, and live and filmed performances. Its hundreds of
alphabetically arranged, fully referenced entries offer insights
into famous players, writers, and directors, as well as notable
stage and film productions from around the world and throughout the
history of theater, cinema, and television. The book also includes
a surprising array of additional topics, including important venues
(from Greek amphitheaters to Broadway and Hollywood), acting
schools (the Actor's Studio) and companies (the Royal Shakespeare),
performance genres (from religious pageants to puppetry), technical
terms of the actor's art, and much more. It is a unique resource
for exploring the techniques performers use to captivate their
audiences, and how those techniques have evolved to meet the
demands of performing through Greek masks and layers of Kabuki
makeup, in vast halls or tiny theaters, or for the unforgiving eye
of the camera. A-Z entries span every region of the world and cover
diverse topics from Ireland's Abbey Theatre to China's Zhang Mu
(rod-puppet theater) Beautiful illustrations include masks used in
classical Greek dramas, an advertisement for a performance of Punch
and Judy, the humorous puppet characters, and photographs of
actors, performances, and ceremonies from Monty Python to young
Balinese dancers performing the Legong dance
