Reading Contemporary Performance: Theatricality Across Genres

This book will be an invaluable guide to anyone approaching the many and varied ways of discussing performance in all of it forms - from theatrical and site-specific performances to live and New Media art. The many-headed nature of contemporary performance is requiring an increasingly diverse and sophisticated vocabulary from its students. The aim of this book is not only to provide a solid set of familiarities, but also to explore and contextualise the key terms that are central to any discussion of performance.
