Editorial Reviews
Review
Richard Schechner's Environmental Theater provides the exercises which began as radical departures from standard actor-training etiquette and which stand now as classic means through which the performer discovers his or her true power of transformation. Environmental Theater offers a new generation of theatre artists the gospel according the Schechner, the guru whose principles and influence have survived a quarter-century of reaction and debate. Schechner's work is situated within a rich theoretical framework in the tradition of Meyerhold, Brecht, Grotowski, as well as potent non-Western performance genres. He reflects on his seminal experience as the founder of The Performance Group to consider the major issues of audience participation, performer training, directing and the formation (and dissolution) of groups. And always integrated throughout the text is a relevant compendium of practical exercises designed for performers, directors and environmentalists. Environmental Theater will be of long enduring interest. -- Midwest Book Review
