Ethnotheatre transforms research about human experiences into a
dramatic presentation for an audience. Johnny Saldaña, one of the
best-known practitioners of this research tradition, outlines the key
principles and practices of ethnotheatre in this clear, concise
volume. He covers the preparation of a dramatic presentation from the
research and writing stages to the elements of stage production.
Saldaña nurtures playwrights through adaptation and stage exercises,
and delves into the complex ethical questions of turning the personal
into theatre. Throughout, he emphasizes the vital importance of
creating good theatre as well as good research for impact on an
audience and performers. The volume includes multiple scenes from
contemporary ethnodramas plus two complete play scripts as exemplars
of the genre.
