Teaching Performance Studies by Nathan Stucky

Teaching Performance Studies by Nathan Stucky

An organized treatment of performance studies theory, practice and pedagogy. This collection of 18 essays by scholars and educators seeks to reflect the emergent and contested nature of performance studies, a field that looks at the broad range of human performance from everyday conversation to formal theatre and cultural ritual. The cross-disciplinary freedom enacted by the writers suggests a new vision of performance studies - a deliberate commerce between field and classroom.

recounts a wide variety of teaching methods, experiences, theories, and approachesAll of it fits under the big performance studies tent.... An elusive, playful, embodied, multifaceted, protean operation: Teaching performance studies is very much a creative art. - Richard Schechner, from the Foreword
