Book Description

November 19, 2002 0809324660 978-0809324668 1st

Edited by Nathan Stucky and Cynthia Wimmer, Teaching Performance Studies is the first organized treatment of performance studies theory, practice, and pedagogy. This collection of eighteen essays by leading scholars and educators reflects the emergent and contested nature of performance studies, a field that looks at the broad range of human performance from everyday conversation to formal theatre and cultural ritual. The cross-disciplinary freedom enacted by the writers suggests a new vision of performance studies—a deliberate commerce between field and classroom.

Review

Teaching Performance Studies “recounts a wide variety of teaching methods, experiences, theories, and approaches. All of it fits under the big performance studies tent. . . . An elusive, playful, embodied, multifaceted, protean operation: Teaching performance studies is very much a creative art.”

—Richard Schechner, from the Foreword
