BREDEN SHIFTS THE FOCUS OF ACADEMIC STUDY AWAY FROM PRODUCT AND
TOWARDS PROCESS, DEMONSTRATING HOW AN UNDERSTANDING OF PROCESS ASSISTS
IN THE READING OF THE THEATRICAL PRODUCT.
The rehearsal processes of theatre companies are an oft-neglected area
of research in Drama and Performance Studies. This work on the Catalan
devising collective Els Joglars and the Madrid producing venue Teatro
de la Abadía seeksto redress the balance with a close analysis of
methodologies employed in rehearsal. In effect, both companies have
created distinctive rehearsal processes by applying ideas and
techniques from a wider European context to a Spanish theatre scene
which had been seen to follow rather than develop trends and
techniques visible in theatre across France, Italy and Germany.
Critically, their hybrid rehearsal processes generate heightened
theatrical results forthe audience. Thus the book shifts the focus of
academic study away from product and towards process, demonstrating
how an understanding of process assists in the reading of the
theatrical product.
Simon David Breden obtained a PhD in Drama & Hispanic Studies from
Queen Mary, University of London. He has worked as a professional
director and expert in Spanish theatre in London and Madrid.
