Socially Engaged Creative Practice: Contemporary Case Studies by Jess Moriarty H

The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Socially Engaged Creative Practice by Jess Moriarty, Kate Aughterson

This collection is the second in the Performance and Communities series. Contributions from academics and artists engage with both these notions of performance – that of identities in and through time and space - and of more formal instances of specific time-limited performances (textual/ embodied/ visual/ communal). 31 b&w illus.

FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This edited collection engages with both identity and specific time-limited notions in performance: textual, embodied, visual, and communal. Each chapter of Socially Engaged Creative Practice focuses on an individual or group's mode of working and methodological practice of performance across a range of modes, disciplines, and media, from community opera to online queer performance; from anti-racist classroom pedagogy to 1980s cabaret in nightclubs; from community art projects in schools to community writing projects in transport interchanges. The performers, writers, and creators represented here engage and grapple with contemporary performance as a situated practice and as a problem. The personal perspective of each performer—as directors, librettists, producers, and writers—is explicitly located in a community, and the book offers a series of case studies detailing socially engaged work that aligns with concepts of performance and community.
