{"product_id":"9781408147269","title":"Performance and Community: Commentary and Case Studies","description":"Performance practice in community settings is an established part of the cultural landscape. However, this practice is frequently viewed as functional: an intervention that seeks to solve, educate or heal. \u003ci\u003e Performance and Community\u003c\/i\u003e presents an alternative vision, focussing, instead, on the aesthetic and political ambitions of artists, organisations and cultural producers committed to this area. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Through case studies, this edited collection gives unprecedented access to some of the leading organisations in the field, examining their creative processes and placing them in their historical context.  In parallel, a series of interviews with individual artists explores their approaches and how they are re-shaped by the communities that they encounter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Case studies include: the Grassmarket Project, the Lawnmowers Independent Theatre Company, London Bubble, Magic Me and the partnership between the artist, Mark Storor and producer, Anna Ledgard; while interviews in this collection include: Mojisola Adebayo, Bobby Baker, Sue Emmas, Tony Fegan, Paul Heritage, Rosemary Lee and Lois Weaver.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  An invaluable resource for students of applied, social, community and contemporary theatre practices, \u003ci\u003ePerformance and Community\u003c\/i\u003e provides vivid evidence of the complex negotiations between artist and community that lie at the heart of this delicate work.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121828610288,"sku":"9781408147269","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408147269_p0.jpg?v=1763718123","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408147269","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
