This core text offers insight into theatre-making that takes place in
communities across the world. Offering an overview of the theory that
underpins practice in applied drama, this thought-provoking text
outlines practices in the context of contemporary political and
theoretical concerns. It considers the role of artists who work in
challenging settings, including prisons, schools, hostels for the
homeless, care homes for the elderly and on the street. In so doing,
the book poses critical questions about the aesthetics and ethics of
applied theatre. It also invites debate about the environments in
which applied theatre takes place. Written by an experienced academic
in the field, this lively text is the ideal introductory text for
students on Applied Theatre degree programmes and those taking Applied
Theatre modules on Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies programmes.
It is also essential reading for practitioners of applied theatre
looking for a comprehensive insight into theatre-making and its impact
in an increasingly globalized world.
