On the 20th anniversary of artistic director Thomas Ostermeier’s
time at Berlin's Schaubühne Theatre, this important study reflects
on the contribution the theatre has made to contemporary theatre,
not just in Germany, but around the world. Ostermeier has kept
extending and refining the important notion of German Regietheater
(directors' theatre) with the Schaubühne Theatre being its
internationally famous birthplace under the previous artistic
direction of Peter Stein. Through doing so, the work produced at
the Schaubühne has transgressed established divides of text-based
and devised theatre, and blurred the borders between theatre and
dance. Combining scholarly reflection with interview material, this
essential collection investigates how theatre has been reinvented
by the Schaubühne under Ostermeier's tenure, bringing together
international theatre scholars such as Erika Fischer-Lichte, Marvin
Carlson, Jitka Goriaux Pelechova, Benjamin Fowler, Ramona Mosse and
Sabine Huschka. This study also considers productions by some of
Ostermeier's past and present collaborators, such as Katie
Mitchell, Falk Richter and Sasha Waltz. This edition also includes
the first English translation of Schaubühne's original manifesto
“The Mission” (1999); a contribution from Ostermeier's
long-term co-director Jens Hillje; a contribution from Hans-Thies
Lehmann on Falk Richter; and an interview with Thomas Ostermeier by
Clare Finburgh Delijani.
Thomas Ostermeier is the most internationally recognised German
theatre director of the present. With this book, he presents his
directorial method for the first time. The Theatre of Thomas
Ostermeier provides a toolkit for understanding and enacting the
strategies of his advanced contemporary approach to staging
dramatic texts. In addition, the book includes: Ostermeier's
seminal essays, lectures and manifestos translated into English for
the first time. Over 140 photos from the archive of Arno Declair,
who has documented Ostermeier's work at the Schaubuhne Berlin for
many years, and by others. In-depth 'casebook' studies of two of
his productions: Ibsen's An Enemy of the People (2012) and
Shakespeare's Richard III (2015) Contributions from Ostermeier's
actors and his closest collaborators to show how his principles are
put into practice. An extraordinary, richly illustrated insight
into Ostermeier's working methods, this volume will be of interest
to practitioners and scholars of contemporary European theatre
alike.

This extended new edition of a seminal text marks the 30th
anniversary of the original book's major intervention in the
discipline. Bradby and Williams' field-defining book introduced the
continental-European approach to directing, recognising the work of
the modern stage director as an artist in his or her own right for
the first time. Now edited by Peter M. Boenisch in collaboration
with David Williams, this new edition includes an additional four
chapters by leading contemporary experts on theatre direction.
Covering recent practices and developments, as well as new trends
in the academic research on directing, Directors' Theatre
interrogates working ethics and performance aesthetics, directors'
work with actors as a central creative source and their responses
to the ongoing reassessment of theatre's role and function in
contemporary culture. This long-awaited reissue will make a
classic, authoritative study on directors and directing accessible
to a new generation of students, scholars and artists. It is
essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of
Theatre, Performance Studies and Directing. New to this Edition: -
Includes four new chapters written by leading contemporary experts
on theatre direction: Patrice Pavis, Katalin Trencsenyi, the
research team of Luk Van den Dries, and DuskaRadosavljevic - New
chapters discuss recent approaches and developments in theatre
directing as well as research on directing, including artists such
as Luk Perceval, Daniel Jeanneteau, Improbable and Ivo van Hove,
while also introducing the development of theatre direction in
Eastern Europe - The original text has been carefully revised by
David Williams and chapters have been supplemented with new
introductions and conclusions
