Europe is a continent in a state of rapid-- and frequently
unsettling, transition. In the past five years, a total of twelve
new states have emerged in a continent in which only five countries
can boast of having had stable borders for more than a hundred
years.
Accompanied by in-depth articles and interviews discussing
European performance today, "Letters from Europe" uses the framing
device of the letter-- letters from theater makers, artists and
critics-- to present an intensive, up-to-date survey of the
performance forms of the new Europe, the relationship of the old
and the new, the minority theaters in Europe and the place of
dissident theaters in fin-de-siecle Europe.
Performance Research: On Ritual will examine a range of ritual
practices bordering on or intended to be seen as theatre. It will
explore both historical and systematic connections between ritual
and theatre, present the work of contemporary artists, and reflect
on the role and meaning of ritual for theatrical purposes in the
late 20th century.
Acclaimed cookery writer Claire Macdonald turns her attention to
food for free in this selection of recipes using a huge variety of
produce that can be found growing wild in fields, forests,
hedgerows and along the seashore. Featuring blackcurrants,
brambles, crabapples, dandelions, elderflower, funghi, hazelnuts,
wild garlic, meadowsweet, nettles, sorrel, kelp, razorfish,
mussels, and much more, Claire includes over 40 recipes for soups,
mousses, salads, accompaniments, jams and jellies, cordials, cakes
and biscuits as well as main courses and puddings.
This issue of performance Research is a response to the powerful
presence in contemporary culture of aesthetic forms and political
strategies derived from North America. Counterpointing Letters from
Europe, the book addresses the use and abuse of images of and from
North America, the deconstruction in performance theory and
practice of North American art, film and performance, and the
presentation of America as genre and fiction.

The question of illusion and reality - the relationship of
representation and lived experience to the arts and to broader

Island;" On Rose English "Lynn MacRitchie" Hotel Pro Forma "Exe

disciplines. The primary focus here is on the perception of risk:
its relationship to the artist's work in performance, and the
physical, cultural and political contexts in which the work takes
place.

Once the prerogative of country dwellers, game is now found in
butchers' shops and supermarkets all over the country. Yet despite
this, many people are still apprehensive about cooking this
extraordinary versatile, varied and protein-packed meat. In this
book Claire Macdonald de-mystifies game cooking, with a wide and
varied selection of recipes for pheasant, wild duck, partridge and
snipe, woodcock, venison, hare, wild boar and wild salmon. In
addition to tips on roasting, she also includes useful information
on what combines well with different types of game - lentils,
beans, root vegetables, dark green vegetables and mushrooms - and
sauces and jellies that make excellent accompaniments. She also
shows how game can be combined - game pie, for example, can be
composed of pheasant, grouse, a leg of hare or a partridge. Similar
recipes include, game pudding with a lemon and thyme suet crust,
game stock, game soup, salami of game, game terrine, game with an
oatmeal crumble, potted game with walnuts, and game shepherd's pie.
