Theory for Theatre Studies: Space
Methuen Drama (Verlag)
978-1-350-00606-5 (ISBN)
Theory for Theatre Studies: Space provides a comprehensive introduction to the ‘spatial turn’ in modern theatre and performance theory, exploring topics as diverse as embodied space, environmental performance politics and urban performance studies. The book is written in accessible prose and features in-depth case studies of Platform’s audio walk And While London Burns, Katie Mitchell’s Fraülein Julie, Young Jean Lee’s The Shipment, and Evalyn Parry and Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory’s Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools. TfTS: Space begins with fresh readings of historical dramatic theory, discusses twentieth-century theoretical trends at length, and ends by asking what it will take (and what work is already underway) to decolonize the Western, settler-colonial stage.
