New Performance/New Writing John Freeman
Contemporary practitioners such as Orlan, Franko B, Robert Wilson and Tim Etchells are creating work that flies in the face of traditional thinking about what performance might mean. "New Performance/New Writing" offers contextualization and guidance for those wishing to explore these innovative approaches. With chapters on the relationships between written text and body, self, space and devising, the author traces the history of performance practice in a critically informed and accessible way. This book includes recommendations for further reading, case studies and performance writing exercises.
