COMPLETELY ORIGINAL: A genuinely new contribution to the field, essays commissioned are original, exclusive, previously unpublished, and composed specifically for this collection. TIMELY: Universities are increasingly offering courses in „Ecology and.“ or „Sustainable.“ and this collection will also fill the void in books that address environmental issues and ecocriticism as they relate to performance. UNIQUE: Other works use ‚ecology‘ or ’nature‘ in a metaphorical sense or broaden the category to include things only tenuously connected to either the natural world or to ecological concerns. This volume focuses on the intersections of the practice of theatrical/dance performance and the actual material environment/ecology. ACCESSIBLE: Essays are short and jargon-free, aimed to be of maximal use in classrooms as well as by scholars from other disciplines.

Beschreibung

This ground-breaking collection focuses on how theatre, dance, and other forms of performance are helping to transform our ecological values. Top scholars explore how familiar and new works of performance can help us recognize our reciprocal relationship with the natural world and how it helps us understand the way we are connected to the land.
