This book works to 'make change strange' from and for the field of
theatre and performance studies. Growing from the idea that change
is an under-interrogated category that over-determines theatre and
performance as an artistic, social, educational, and material
practice, the scholars and practitioners gathered here (including
specialists in theatre history and literature, educational theatre,
youth arts, arts policy, socially invested theatre, and activist
performance) take up the question of change in thirty-five short
essays. For anyone who has wondered about the relationships between
theatre, performance and change itself, this book is an essential
conversation starter.
