Description
This book should be seen as a creative text. A text that provokes, prescribes, instructs, argues, plays, advises, promotes and shares. The emphasis is on how theatre makers can encourage and evolve performance making by sharing their theories and practices, to help empower more artists to engage with this way of working. Critically (or theoretically) this book addresses a wide range of perspectives on “DIY” theatre and performance and identifies key dichotomies between ethos and style.
Little efforts like this to catalyse and advocate an alternative community and new ways of making theatre and performance are always a good things. This book is an effort at that.
