Theatre & Architecture

Theatre & Ireland

Theatre & Interculturalism

Juliet Rufford, Victoria & Albert Museum, UK

Lionel Pilkington, National University of Ireland, Republic of Ireland

Ric Knowles, University of Guelph , Canada

Theatre and architecture are seeming opposites: one a time-based art-form experienced in space, the other a spacial art experienced over time. The book will unpick these assumptions, demonstrating ways in which theatre and architecture are coconstitutive and contextualizing their dynamic and complex inter-relationship historically and culturally.

This book investigates how theatre makers stage critical questions about the use of prison in society. Using examples from popular culture, dramatic texts and applied theatre, it analyzes how theatre and performance reveals economies of punishment, effects penal reform and both challenges and participates in narratives of reformation.

Theatre & Nation

Theatre & Feeling

Nadine Holdsworth, University of Warwick, UK

Erin Hurley, McGill University, USA

Foreword by Nicholas Hytner

Foreword by Anne Bogart

‘An excellent book...the writing is extraordinarily lucid, without ever simplifying the issues at hand.

The effect is really pleasurable.’ - Nicholas Ridout, Queen Mary, University of London, UK

‘Nadine Holdsworth’s excellent book offers a persuasive overview of the ways nation and national identity have been present in a whole range of theatrical practices.’ - Nicholas Hytner, Director, The National Theatre, London, UK

This book explores the idea that, for many people, theatre is a passion. It provides an intellectual framework for the range of emotional experience engendered by the theatre, bringing the issue of theatrical feeling into focus as both a research object and a method in Theatre Studies.

Throughout the history of the nation-state, theatre has contributed to the construction and reappraisal of the nation and national identities. This book argues that ideas of the nation are constantly in flux and explores the way theatre engages with such changes according to different geographical, political, economic, social and cultural climates.

Theatre & Audience

Jill Dolan, Princeton University, USA

Helen Freshwater, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK

Foreword by Tim Miller

‘Jill Dolan’s marvelous book demonstrates how central questions of sexuality have been for the modern theatre, explaining the major arguments and debates with great clarity and force.’ - David Savran, City University of New York, USA ‘An urgently needed exploration of the deliciously queered formations of desire, gender and love that are conjured abundantly in theatre. SLEEP WITH THIS BOOK!’ - Tim Miller, performer and author of Boy Blows and 1001 Beds This book explains the critical validity of using sexuality as a lens for examining theatre’s creation and reception.

Foreword by Lois Weaver

‘This book is about us. It documents our presence, articulates our position and questions our experience as casual on-lookers, silent witnesses, engaged spectators, willing participants, in this glorious activity called audience. See for yourself.’

- Lois Weaver ‘...picks apart the way critics, academics and practitioners describe audience reactions as monolithic, and wonders why theatrical theorists often regard the audience with ‘a complex mix of hope, frustration and disgust’.’ - Plays International A provocative overview of the questions raised by theatrical encounters between performers and audiences, drawing on examples that have sought to generate active audience involvement from Brecht’s epic theatre to The Blue Man Group. It argues for more audience-responsive approaches to what theatre does for those who witness, watch or participate.

‘While there are a number of remarkable insights in Nicholas Ridout’s book, the most significant is simply to have brought together these two terms — ‘theatre’ and ‘ethics’ — in an approachable, compelling volume.’ - D.J.Hopkins, San Diego State University, USA What is ethics and what has it got to do with theatre? Drawing on both theoretical material and practical examples, Ridout makes a clear and compelling critical intervention, raising fundamental questions about what theatre is for and how audiences interact with it.

He explains core ideas, such as globalization, localization and cosmopolitanism, with notable clarity...’ - Theatre Research International What is globalization?

'Fluent, provocative and well paced, it will make an excellent addition to the series.’ - James Thompson, University of Manchester, UK ‘With an intense display of knowledge and expertise, Paul Rae weaves a delicately precise web, connecting the dots between the theatre and human rights, and creates a tapestry of learning that begins with Antigone and extends all the way to contemporary events.’ - Rabih Mroué With its impassioned plays, inspired activism and outspoken artists, the theatre has long provided a venue for promoting and practising human rights; but is this always to the good?

Theatre & the City Jen Harvie, Queen Mary, University of London, UK Foreword by Tim Etchells

‘Why city?...Because the city can trap you, nurture you, teach you, unravel you, unspeak you. Because you are just one amongst many here and the dynamic of one in relation to many (conversation, dialogue, difference, the negotiation of public space) is what theatre emerges from and thrives on, what art must address and what cities must somehow contend with if they are to survive.’ Tim Etchells How do power dynamics, ideologies and identity play out in relations between theatre and the city?

Evaluating material conditions such as architecture and performative practices such as urban activism, Harvie argues both contribute to understanding the complex economies and ecologies of theatre and performance in an increasingly urbanized world.

New Performance/New Writing

Perfomativityof Time Jerzy Limon, University of Gdansk, Poland

'This is a truly groundbreaking account of theatre’s chemistry, especially as it relates to time, space, and affect. Having been the Artistic Director of the Gdańsk International Shakespeare Festival for over 14 years, where many of the world’s best theatre companies and directors present their work, Limon really knows contemporary theatre. He brings this knowledge to this book with remarkable ingenuity and eloquence. The Chemistry of the Theatre is a spectacular accomplishment and a major contribution to theatre studies.' - Bryan Reynolds, University of California, Irvine, USA This innovative, theoretical work focuses on temporal issues in theatre and the ‘chemistry’ of theatre - the ways in which a variety of factors in performance combine to make up what we call ‘theatre’. Discussing a range of canonical plays, from Shakespeare to Beckett, the book makes a unique contribution to theatre and performance studies.

Published in association with FIRT/IFTR Series Editors: Janelle Reinelt and Brian Singleton

Culture and performance cross borders constantly, and not just the borders that define nations. In this series, scholars of performance produce interactions between and among nations and cultures as well as genres, identities, and imaginations. Inter-national in the largest sense, the books collected here display a range of historical, theoretical, and critical approaches to the panoply of performances that make up the global surround. The Series embraces “Culture” which is institutional as well as improvised, underground, or alternate, and analyzes “Performance” as either intercultural or transnational as well as intracultural within nations.

A far-reaching examination of exoticism, cultural internationalism and modernism’s encounters with Indonesian tradition, Performing Otherness examines how Indonesia entered world stages through imperialism as an antimodern phantasm and through nationalism became a means of intercultural communication and cultural diplomacy.

Evan Darwin Winet, Independent Scholar

This text explores modern theatrical practices in Indonesia from a performance of Hamlet in the warehouses of Dutch Batavia to Ratna Sarumpaet’s feminist Muslim Antigones. The book reveals patterns linking the colonial to the postcolonial eras that often conflict with the historical narratives of Indonesian nationalism.

‘This is a rich and rewarding book, written with feeling and a deep commitment to its many, various and often unpredictable subjects.

Performance analyses ranging from child actors, animals and objects to reflections on the theatre work of Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Forced Entertainment and Goat Island combine to offer a critique of performance studies.

Since Argentina’s transition to democracy, the expression of human fragility on the stage has taken diverse forms.

This book examines the intervention of theatre and performance in the memory politics surrounding Argentina’s return to democracy and makes a case for performance’s transformative power.

This book takes performance studies in exciting new directions, exploring the ways in which ethics can be used to understand the complex questions facing contemporary spectators.

‘This book of interviews brilliantly explores what it means for an actor to be playing Freud or Gordon Brown, Lawrence of Arabia or Charles Dickens. The actors’ answers are as various as the people being portrayed but the intriguing problem these interviews investigate is, for the first time, excitingly put centre-stage.’ - Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame, USA ‘This invaluable book offers riveting and fascinating insights into the actor’s process and the crucial question as to how fact might become fiction.’ - Steve Waters, Playwright and Academic, University of Birmingham, UK This is the first book to explore how actors play real people. How do you capture Hitler, Mugabe, or a serial killer? How do you portray living monarchs or political leaders? Is it possible to embody a genius like Mozart or Darwin? With a multiple awardwinning line-up, including Sir Ian McKellen on playing himself in Ricky Gervais’s Extras.
