Theatre and Everyday Life : An Ethics of Performance PDF
by Alan Read
- Information
Description
Alan Read asserts that there is no split between the practice and theory of theatre, but a divide between the written and the unwritten.
In this revealing book, he sets out to retrieve the theatre of spontaneity and tactics, which grows out of the experience of everyday life.
It is a theatre which defines itself in terms of people and places rather than the idealised empty space of avant garde performance. Read examines the relationship between an ethics of performance, a politics of place and a poetics of the urban environment.
His book is a persuasive demand for a critical theory of theatre which is as mentally supple as theatre is physically versatile.
