Third Theatre, a transnational community of theatre groups and
artists united by a shared set of values and a laboratory attitude.
This book takes a genealogical account of Third Theatre as a
concept and a practice that draws attention to the historical Third
Theatre Encounters that have taken place across Europe and Latin
America since the 1970s. The work of renowned Third Theatre groups
and organisations, such as LUME (Brazil), Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani
(Peru), Triangle Theatre (UK) and Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium - NTL
(Denmark), are explored to reveal how a multifarious poetics of
Third Theatre is manifest through these artists' approaches to
performer training, dramaturgy and cultural action. Three critical
pillars - unconditional hospitality, artisanal craft and
(re)enchantment - are employed in order to illuminate the shared
ethos of the Third Theatre community and its exemplification as a
mode of cultural performance. This informative text will be of
great use to students and scholars of drama and theatre studies,
and its dedicated section on performer training exercises offers
the reader pathways into an experiential engagement with Third
Theatre craft.
