Any actor will find this book invaluable. For any student of Shakespeare it should be essential. (From the Foreword by Ralph Fiennes) How can I bring the text alive, make it vivid, how do I make people hear it for the first time? How can I enter into that world and not feel a stranger. How can I not feel clumsy and inept?... How can I speak it without sounding artificial or actory? In other words, how can I make it real...? Adrian Noble has worked on Shakespeare with everyone from oscar-nominated actors to groups of schoolchildren. Here he draws on several decades of toplevel directing experience to shed new light on how to bring some of theatre s seminal texts to life. He shows you how to approach the perennial issues of performing Shakespeare, including: wordplay using colour and playing plain, wit and comedy, making language muscular building a character different strategies, using the text, Stanislavski and Shakespeare shape and structure headlining a speech, playing soliloquys, determining a speech s purpose and letting the verse empower you dialogue building tension, sharing responsibility and passing the ball. This guided tour of Shakespeare s complex but unfailingly rewarding work stunningly combines instruction and inspiration. Selected Contents: Part 1: Principles 1. Apposition 2. Metaphor 3.

Along the way, Benedetti considers the contribution and theories of key figures such as Diderot, Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Brecht, Artaud and Grotowski, providing a clear and concise explanation of their work illustrated by extracts and summaries of their writings. Some source materials appear in the volume for the first time in English. 2007: 254 x 178: 256pp Hb: : $95.00 Pb: : $ Award Monologues for Men Edited by Patrick Tucker and Christine Ozanne, both at The Original Shakespeare Company, London, UK Patrick and Christine have researched, in depth, the latest modern plays of high calibre writing, many of which are extraordinary and, indeed, unfamiliar...

Pamela Howard OBE, University of the Arts, London, UK Pamela Howard s groundbreaking What is Scenography? was the first book to set out the bold new approaches to designing and directing for theatre which had dazzled audiences in Europe during the previous decades. It did us all a service by enriching the scope of how we understand the aesthetics of the stage... The lavish new materials (drawings, colour photos, new production analysis) included in this second edition make it even more essential for anyone interested in new developments in theatre. - David Bradby Gives an excellent sense of scenography and a window on a life in the theatre - which is fascinating....a superb book. - Professor Arnold Aronson, Columbia University, USA Pamela Howard is the precise definition of what a scenographer of today should be: a multiple artist... Her vast experience with space, her rare and acute power of reflection, her workshops worldwide, her masterful control of drawing and painting and her ability to interconnect scenography with other artistic expressions qualify her to discuss with great authority what space for staging should be in the coming decades of this millennium. - Jose Carlos Serroni Pamela Howard s What is Scenography? has become a classic text in contemporary theatre design and performance practice. In this second edition, the author expands on her holistic analysis of scenography as comprising space, text, research, art, performers, directors and spectators, to examine the changing nature of scenography in the twenty-first century. The book includes: case studies and anecdotes from Howard s own celebrated career illustrations of her own recent work, in full colour throughout an updated world view of scenography, with definitions from the world s most famous and influential scenographers. A direct and personal response to the question of how to define scenography by one of the world s leading practitioners, What is Scenography? continues to shape the work of visual theatremakers throughout the world.

As director of the Frankfurt Ballet ( ) he has been lauded for reinvigorating the language of classical ballet (he is often referred to as Balanchine s heir) in a fearless and comprehensiveness examination of its most fundamental assumptions and precepts. He has created a new audience for contemporary ballet through his engagement with contemporary intellectual and cultural currents. His voracious intellectual curiosity and insistence that ballet is a body of knowledge that can be used to address current concerns has made him controversial. His critical acceptance in Great Britain and the USA has been much slower to arrive than on the continent, but finally the company s recent tours to London and the US have confirmed his reputation there. With his far-ranging references and insistence that ballet is a contemporary medium, Forsythe has created a crossover audience, giving this edited collection of essays interdisciplinary appeal -- extending beyond the ballet and dance communities.

18 16 dance Reworking the Ballet Counter Narratives and Alternative Bodies Vida L. Midgelow, University of Northampton, UK Challenging and unsettling their predecessors, modern choreographers such as Matthew Bourne, Mark Morris and Masaki Iwana have courted controversy and notoriety by reimagining the most canonical of Classical and Romantic ballets. In this book, Vida L. Midgelow illustrates the ways in which these contemporary reworkings destroy and recreate their source material, turning ballet from a classical performance to a vital exploration of gender, sexuality and cultural difference. Reworking the Ballet: Counter Narratives and Alternative Bodies articulates the ways that audiences and critics can experience these new versions, viewing them from both practical and theoretical perspectives, including: eroticism and the politics of touch performing gender cross-casting and cross-dressing reworkings and intertextuality cultural exchange and hybridity. 2007: 234 x 156: 240pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $ A Queer History of the Ballet Peter Stoneley, University of Reading, UK A Queer History of the Ballet focuses on how, as makers and as audiences, queer men and women have helped to develop many of the texts, images, and legends of ballet.

22 20 stanislavski Stanislavski New in Paperback An Actor s Work A Student s Diary Translated by Jean Benedetti Konstantin Stanislavski A lively new translation by Jean Benedetti... Stanislavksi was provocative, controversial - and, as An Actor s Work confirms, a genius - The Times A volume that clearly communicates the entire system... it should be made required reading. - The Guardian Getting the system straight from the horses mouth... An Actor s Work should be a manual not just in drama school, but but on any course where students are taught to assess texts and arguments critically - Times Literary Supplement A landmark achievement in Stanislavski studies... essential reading for anyone interested in acting, practically or academically, at all levels from schools to the industry. - Times Higher Educational Supplement Stanislavski s system has dominated actor-training in the West since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s and 30s. His systematic attempt to outline a psychophysical technique for acting single-handedly revolutionized standards of acting in the theatre. Until now, readers and students have had to contend with inaccurate, misleading and difficult-to-read Englishlanguage versions. Some of the mistranslations have resulted in profound distortions in the way his system has been interpreted and taught. At last, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavski s huge manual into a lively, fascinating and accurate text in English. He has remained faithful to the author s original intentions, putting the two books previously known as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character back together into one volume, and in a colloquial and readable style for today s actors. The result is a major contribution to the theatre, and a service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century.

Originally published over half a century ago as Creating a Role, this book became the third in a trilogy after An Actor Prepares and Building a Character, which are now combined in a newly translated volume called An Actor s Work. In these books, now foundational texts for actors, Stanislavsky sets out his psychological, physical and practical vision of actor training. This new translation from renowned writer and critic Jean Benedetti not only includes Stanislavski s original teachings, but is also furnished with invaluable supplementary material in the shape of transcripts and notes from the rehearsals themselves, reconfirming The System as the cornerstone of actor training.

23 stanislavski 21 My Life in Art Konstantin Stanislavski Translated by Jean Benedetti This wise and delightful book is packed with sage, practical counsel to actors and actresses. The Times Literary Supplement The Stanislavski system of acting is good. What is better is the Stanislavski philosophy of art that believes in the infinitude of man... Even those who are not primarily interested in acting will find in Stanislavski s writing an extraordinary illumination of art. The New York Times Konstantin Stanislavski was a Russian director who transformed theatre in the West with his contributions to the birth of Realist theatre and his unprecedented approach to teaching acting. He lived through extraordinary times and his unique contribution to the arts still endures in the twenty-first century. He established the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898 with, among other plays, the premiere of Chekhov s The Seagull. He also survived revolutions, lost his fortune, found wide fame in America, and lived in internal exile under Stalin s Soviet Union. Before writing his classic manual on acting, Stanislavski began writing an autobiography that he hoped would both chronicle his rich and tumultuous life and serve as a justification of his aesthetic philosophy. But when the project grew to impossible lengths, his publisher (Little, Brown) insisted on many cuts and changes to keep it to its deadline and to a manageable length. The result was a version published in English in 1924, which Stanislavski hated and completely revised for a Soviet edition that came out in Now, for the first time, translator Jean Benedetti brings us Stanislavski s complete unabridged autobiography as the author himself wanted it from the re-edited 1926 version. The text, in clear and lively English, is supplemented by a wealth of photos and illustrations, many previously unpublished. 2008: 234 x 156: 488pp Hb: : $ Stanislavski in Practice Exercises for Students Nick O Brien A step-by-step guide to Stanislavski s System that makes this cornerstone of modern theatre accessible to teachers and students alike.

Mel Gordon outlines the journey of Stanislavski s theories through twentieth century American history, from the early US tours of the Moscow Art Theatre to the ongoing impact of The System on modern American acting. This fascinating study by a leading theatre critic and practitioner provides hundreds of original acting exercises, used by the pivotal US figures who developed his teachings, such as Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis. By going back to these primary sources, Gordon cuts through the myths and misapprehensions which have built up over time.

Rooted in practice, it presents an alternative perspective based on philosophy, physics, romantic science and theories of industrial management. Working from historical and archive material, as well as practical sources, Jonathan Pitches traces an evolutionary journey of actor training from the roots of the Russian tradition, Konstantin Stanislavsky, to the contemporary Muscovite director, Anatoly Vasiliev. The book explores two key developments that emerge from Stanislavski s system one linear, rational and empirical, while the other is fluid,organic and intuitive. The otherwise highly contrasting acting theories of Vsevolod Meyerhold (biomechanics) and Lee Strasberg (the Method) are dealt with under the banner of the rational or Newtonian paradigm; Michael Chekov s acting technique and the little known ideas of Anatoly Vasiliev form the centrepiece of the other Romantic, organic strain of practice. Science and the Stanislavsky Tradition of Acting opens up the theatre laboratories of five major practitioners in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and scrutinises their acting methodologies from a scientific perspective.

27 Routledge Theatre Classics Performance theory 25 Stanislavsky in Focus An Acting Master for the Twenty-First Century Sharon Marie Carnicke, University of Southern California, USA Stanislavsky in Focus brilliantly examines the history and actual premises of Stanislavski s System, separating myth from fact with forensic skill. The first edition of this now classic study showed conclusively how the System was gradually transformed into the Method, popularised in the 1950s by Lee Strasberg and the Actor s Studio. It looked at the gap between the original Russian texts and what most English-speaking practitioners still imagine to be Stanislavski s ideas. This thoroughly revised new edition also delves even deeper into: the mythical depiction of Stanislavski as a tyrannical director and teacher yoga, the mind-body-spirit continuum and its role in the System how Stanislavski used subtexts to hide many of his ideas from Soviet censors. The text has been updated to address all of the relevant scholarship, particularly in Russia, since the first edition was published. It also features an expanded glossary on the System s terminology and its historical exercises, as well as more on the political context of Stanislavski s work, its links with cognitive science, and the System s relation to contemporary developments in actor-training. It will be a vital part of every practitioner s and historian s library. Selected Contents: Preface: Stanislavsky Enters the Twenty- First Century Part 1: Transmission From Moscow to New York.

Alongside the perspectives of other prominent intercultural actors, this study draws from original interviews with Ang Gey Pin (formerly with the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards) and Roberta Carreri (Odin Teatret). By illuminating the hidden creative processes usually unavailable to outsiders--the actor s apprenticeship, training, character development, and rehearsals--nascimento both reveals how assumptions based on race or ethnicity are misguiding, trouble definitions of intra- and intercultural practices, and details how performance analyses and claims of appropriation fail to consider the permanent transformation of the actor s identity that cultural transmission and embodiment represent.

McMullan investigates the full range of Beckett s dramatic canon for stage, radio, television and film, including early drama, mimes and unpublished fragments. She examines how Beckett s drama composes and recomposes the body in each medium, and provokes ways of perceiving, conceiving and experiencing embodiment that address wider preoccupations with corporeality, technology and systems of power. McMullan argues that the body in Beckett s drama reveals a radical vulnerability of the flesh, questioning corporeal norms based on perfectible, autonomous or invulnerable bodies, but is also the site of a continual reworking of the self, and of the boundaries between self and other. Beckett s re-imagining of the body presents embodiment as a collaborative performance between past and present, flesh and imagination, self and other, including the spectator / listener.

The mysterious quality of presence in a performer has strong resonances with the uncanny. It is associated with primal, animal qualities in human individuals, but also has connotations of divinity and the supernatural, relating to figures of evil as well as heroism. Stage Presence traces these themes through theatrical history. This fascinating study also explores the blend of science and spirituality that accompanies the appreciation of human power. Performers display a magnetism of their audiences; they electrify them, exhibit mesmeric command, and develop chemistry in their communication.

Though theater predominantly explores human and cultural themes, these plays fully display the power of the other-than-human world and its endangerment during the history of Europe.

He presents a basic summary of the ways that the senses function in relation to cognitive science and physiology, offering an overview of dominant trends of discussion on the realm of the senses in performance. Also presented are examples of how those ideas are illustrated in recent theatrical presentations, and how the different senses form the structure of a theatrical event. Di Benedetto concludes by suggesting the possible implications these neuroscientific ideas have upon our understanding of theatrical composition, audience response, and the generation of meaning.

34 32 Performance theory Feminist Visions and Queer Futures in Postcolonial Drama Community, Kinship and Citizenship Kanika Batra, Texas Tech University, USA Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies In this timely study, Batra examines contemporary drama from India, Jamaica, and Nigeria in conjunction with feminist and incipient queer movements in these countries. Postcolonial drama, Batra contends, furthers the struggle for gender justice in both these movements by contesting the idea of the heterosexual, middle class, wage-earning male as the model citizen and by suggesting alternative conceptions of citizenship premised on working class sexual identities. Further, Batra considers the possibility of Indian, Jamaican, and Nigerian drama generating a discourse on a rightsbearing conception of citizenship that derives from representations of non-biological, non-generational forms of kinship. Her study is one of the first to examine the ways in which postcolonial dramatists are creating the possibility of a dialogue between cultural activism, women s movements, and an emerging discourse on queer sexualities.

This approach shows that an analysis of the conjoined performances of torture and race not only reveals the early modern interest in the nature of racial identity, but also how race was initially coded in a paradoxical fashion as both essentially fixed and socially constructed. An examination of scenes of torture provides the most effective way to unearth these seemingly contradictory representations of race because depictions of torture often interrogate the incongruous desire to substitute the visible and manipulable materiality of the body for the more illusive performative nature of identity. In turn, Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage challenges the long-standing assumption that early modern conceptions of race were radically different in their fluidity from post-enlightenment ones by demonstrating how many of the debates we continue to have about the nature of racial identity were engendered by these seventeenth-century performances.

But while there exist countless studies on Ibsen the dramatist and the significance of his plays within different cultures written mainly by literary scholars, none of them examine the ways in which Ibsen s plays were performed, or the impact of such performances on the theater, social life, and politics of these cultures. The essays in this volume discuss performances from five continents--europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia--and cover a variety of Ibsen s plays, including A Doll s House, Hedda Gabler, Peer Glynt, and Ghosts. Specifically, contributors look at the way performances of Ibsen s plays address problems typical to modern or modernising societies all over the world, including the inferior social status of women; the decay of bourgeois family life and values; religious fundamentalism; industrial pollution and corporate cover-up; and/or the loss of and search for identity.

36 34 World theatre World Theatre Jana Sanskriti Forum Theatre and Democracy in India Sanjoy Ganguly Jana Sanskriti Centre for the Theatre of the Oppressed, based in West Bengal, is probably the largest and longest lasting Forum Theatre operation in the world. It was considered by Augusto Boal to be the chief exponent of his methodology outside of its native Brazil. This book is a unique first-hand account - by the group s artistic director Sanjoy Ganguly - of Jana Sanskriti s growth and development since its founding in 1985, which has resulted in a national Forum Theatre network throughout India. Ganguly describes the plays, people and places that have formed this unique operation and discusses its contribution to the wider themes espoused by Forum Theatre. Ganguly charts and reflects on the practice of theatre as politics, developing an intriguing and persuasive case for Forum Theatre and its role in provoking responsible action. His combination of anecdotal insight and lucid discussion of Boal s practice offers a vision of farreaching transformation in politics and civil society.

It explores the living traditions of Indian Theatre in terms of its audience and the specific circumstances that surround them, focusing on four key forms: Bengali Jatra epics the Pandavani and storytellers of Central India the progressive New Marathi Theatre of Pune Safdar Hashmi s JANAM street theatre. Each of these styles of performance is discussed in detail, building a core understanding around which a wider picture of India s performative self-expression can be assembled. July 2010 Hb: : $ ebook: New in Paperback African Theatres and Performances Osita Okagbue, Goldsmith College, University of London, UK African Theatres and Performances is perhaps the first book by an African scholar to assert its prerogative to apply the term African to a specific tribal or regional performance tradition without feeling the need to fulfil the postimperial requirement of felicitating with regional traditions elsewhere on the continent. The book is a bold and brilliant intervention in cultural and performance studies on Africa, and I hope that it will help to refocus African theatre pedagogy and inspire other focused reading of Africa s vast performance forms and traditions. - Platform The descriptions of the particular events attended for the writing of this book are admirable in their clarity, including fascinating details...readers are thus treated to a description of the amazing jifa leaps of the Bori performers, and the author takes them into the environment of the Jaliya Balunde... where the energy of the event virtually leaps off the page. Okagbue convincingly demonstrates how vibrant, popular, meaningful and contemporary these performance forms remain for the communities concerned... This book is thus a delightful, accessible and most useful updating of an area of performance study that has been underresearched in recent years. - Theatre Research International African Theatres & Performances looks at four specific performance forms in Africa and uses this to question the tendency to employ western frames of reference to analyze and appreciate theatrical performance. The book examines: masquerade theatre in Eastern Nigeria the trance and possession ritual theatre of the Hausa of Northern Nigeria the musical and oral tradition of the Mandinka of Senegal comedy and satire of the Bamana in Mali. Osita Okagbue describes each performance in detail and discusses how each is made, who it is made by and for, and considers the relationship between maker and viewer and the social functions of performance and theatre in African societies. The discussions are based on first-hand observation and interviews with performers and spectators. African Theatres and Performances gives a fascinating account of these practices, carefully tracing the ways in which performances and theatres are unique and expressive of their cultural context.

37 world theatre 35 Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists Series Editors: Maggie B. Gale, University of Manchester, UK and Mary Luckhurst, University of York, UK Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists is a series of innovative and exciting introductions to the work of internationally pioneering playwrights and offers primary materials on contemporary dramatists who are under-represented in secondary criticism. Each volume provides detailed cultural, historical and political material, examines selected plays in production and theorizes the playwright s artistic agenda and working methods, as well as their contribution to the development of playwriting and theatre. August Strindberg Eszter Szalczer In this new volume, the author provides a critical introduction to August Strindberg s vital contributions to theatrical modernism by placing his work in a wider cultural and interdisciplinary context. His great achievements in all the various areas he ventured into were mirrored in his eagerness to break down barriers between genres, views, and fields of experience. Strindberg s re-definition of drama and theatre as a fluid, constantly evolving form came to exert a profound influence on twentieth-century playwriting and theatrical production from the German Expressionists to the Theatre of the Absurd. Beyond Strindberg s influence on the modernist movement this volume explores his drama as a living voice that challenges audiences, critics, and even the most innovative directors. August Strindberg provides an essential and accessible insight into the playwright s work on theatre culture beyond his own time and illustrates the relevance and significance of his work for our understanding of theatre today.

Deeney, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Mark Ravenhill is the first book to provide a detailed analysis of the work of arguably the most important dramatist to have emerged from the British theatre over the past twenty years. Shopping and F***ing (1996), with its unrelenting representation of dysfunctional youth, dark humour and graphic sex and violence, was seen by many to uniquely capture the social and political fallout of a decade, and Ravenhill fast attained a status as the rude boy of British theatre. However, the numerous labels that came to be attached to both the dramatist and his plays now stand as insufficient, masking a complex and frequently misunderstood practice. Using original interview material with the dramatist and his collaborators, together with reviews and criticism, the book argues how Ravenhill has sought not only to redefine the terms of engagement between the playwright and the contemporary theatre, but that his evolving dramaturgy opens up new and important questions about the relationship between playwriting and politics, culture and society in the new millennium. October 2010: 198 x 129: 192pp Hb: : $99.00 Pb: : $ Anton Chekhov Rose Whyman Anton Chekhov offers a critical introduction to the plays and productions of this major canonical playwright. A century after his death the genius of Chekhov s writing, the innovatory nature of his approach to theatrical representation, and the profundity of his philosophy are beginning to be re-examined. Emphasising his continued relevance, humour and mastery of the tragicomic, the author provides an insightful assessment of Chekhov s life and work. The text analyses many Chekhov favourites including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya and The Cherry Orchard in addition to Chekhov s vaudevilles and one-act plays, making reference to Chekhov s stories and using both traditional criticism and more recent theoretical and cultural standpoints including cultural materialism, philosophy, and gender studies. Anton Chekhov provides the reader with a comprehensive and comparative study of the relationship between Chekhov s life, career, ideological thought and view of art and analyzes, with reference to historical and recent productions, his continued appeal.

Through close, linguistic readings of plays including Othello, Hamlet, Richard II, Antony and Cleopatra, Twelfth Night, and Cymbeline, Stone offers a sophisticated critique of gender and difference as depicted in Renaissance and Shakespearean texts. March 2010: 229 x 152: 218pp Hb: : $ Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation Margaret Jane Kidnie, University of Western Ontario, Canada Kidnie s study presents original, sophisticated, and profoundly intelligent answers to important questions. - Lukas Erne, University of Geneva This is a fine and productive book, one that will surely draw significant attention and commentary well beyond the precincts of Shakespeare studies. - W.B. Worthen, Columbia University Shakespeare s plays continue to be circulated on a massive scale in a variety of guises as editions, performances, and adaptations and it is by means of such mediation that we come to know his drama. Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation addresses fundamental questions about this process of mediation, making use of the fraught category of adaptation to explore how we currently understand the Shakespearean work. To adapt implies there exists something to alter, but what constitutes the category of the play, and how does it relate to adaptation? How do play and adaptation relate to drama s twin media, text and performance? What impact might answers to these questions have on current editorial, performance, and adaptation studies? 2008: 216 x 138: 232pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $39.95 ebook: Inside the Royal Shakespeare Company Creativity and the Institution Colin Chambers 2004: 216 x 138: 280pp Hb: : $53.95 ebook: Shakespeare, Jonson, and the Claims of the Performative James Loxley, University of Edinburgh, UK and Mark Robson, University of Nottingham, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture This book will constitute an original intervention into longstanding but insistently relevant debates around the significance of notions of performativity to the critical analysis of early modern drama--particularly that of Jonson and Shakespeare.

40 38 shakespeare Shakespeare, Theatre, and Time Matthew Wagner, Victoria University of Wellington Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies This book investigates time in Shakespearean theatre. Wagner posits that theatrical, and especially Shakespearean, time is characterized predominantly by various forms of temporal conflict. From this perspective, he traces the ways in which time transcends thematic and metaphorical functions, and forms an essential part of Shakespearean stage praxis.

47 Theatre and Performance Journals from Routledge Visit the websites to read a free online sample copy. IN 2010 Theatre Dance and Performance Training Theatre Dance and Performance Training (TDPT) is a brand new, twice-yearly, peer-reviewed journal which acts as a research forum for practitioners, academics, creative artists and pedagogues interested in training in all its complexity. The journal is dedicated to revealing the vital and diverse processes of training and their relationship to performance making both past and present, a diversity reflected in the journal s international scope and interdisciplinary form and focus. TDPT acts as an outlet for documenting and analysing primary materials relating to regimes of performer training as well as encouraging discursive contributions in a range of critical and creative formats. TDPT provides a valuable meeting-point for practitioner-researchers wanting to know more about training before, beneath, beyond and within performance. Contemporary Theatre Review Contemporary Theatre Review analyses what is most passionate and vital in theatre today. It encompasses a wide variety of theatres, from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image and other forms of physical expression, from new acting methods to music theatre and multi-media production work. Recognising the plurality of contemporary performance practices, it encourages contributions on physical theatre, opera, dance, design and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the physical and the visual arts. Dance Chronicle To serious students and lovers of dance, Dance Chronicle is indispensable for keeping up with this rapidly changing field. It covers a wide variety of topics, including dance and music, theater, film, literature, painting, and aesthetics. Offering the best from both established dance historians and the new generation of dance scholars, Dance Chronicle is an ideal source for those who love dance, both past and present. Performance Research: A Journal of the Performing Arts Performance Research is a specialist journal that promotes a dynamic interchange between scholarship and practice in an expanding field of performance. Interdisciplinary in vision and international in scope, its emphasis is on research in contemporary performance arts within changing cultures. The Editors encourage work that challenges boundaries between disciplines and media. Each issue contains articles, documents, interviews, reviews as well as illustrations and original artworks. Ibsen Studies Ibsen Studies is the only international journal devoted to Henrik Ibsen, and is therefore a central publication both for Ibsen researchers the world over and for those with a more general interest in the author and his life s work. Ibsen Studies is a forum for debate and critique for all those who work within the extensive field of research into the work of Henrik Ibsen. The journal is crossdisciplinary in nature, with contributions from literary researchers, historians and those involved in theatre. The journal also includes reviews of current Ibsen-related literature, and a separate section for Ibsen-related events. RiDE: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance RiDE: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance is a refereed journal aimed at those who are interested in applying performance practices to cultural engagement, educational innovation and social change. It provides an international forum for research into drama and theatre conducted in community, educational, developmental and therapeutic contexts. The journal offers a dissemination of completed research and research in progress, and through its Points and Practices section it encourages debate between researchers both on its published articles and on other matters. Contributions are drawn from a range of people involved in drama and theatre from around the world. It aims to bring the fruits of the best researchers to an international readership and to further debates in the rich and diverse field of educational drama and applied theatre. Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory seeks scholarly essays on performance, dance, film, new media, and the performance of everyday life from interdisciplinary feminist perspectives. We encourage dialogues between varied fields of performance scholarship (i.e., performance studies; theatre, dance, and music history and criticism; ethnography; cinema and cultural studies; as well as queer and post-colonial theory), and explore critiques of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, technology, and nation. Shakespeare Shakespeare is a major peer-reviewed journal, publishing articles drawn from the best of current international scholarship on the most recent developments in Shakespearean criticism. Its principal aim is to bridge the gap between the disciplines of Shakespeare in Performance Studies and Shakespeare in English Literature and Language. The journal builds on the existing aim of the British Shakespeare Association, to exploit the synergies between academics and performers of Shakespeare. Text and Performance Quarterly Text and Performance Quarterly publishes scholarship that explores and advances the study of performance as a vital component of human communication, as a technology of representation and expression, and as a hermeneutics. Manuscripts addressing performance and the performative from a wide range of perspectives and methodologies are welcome. Accordingly, all sites and genres of performance from the stage to popular culture to the practices of everyday life, interpretively and critically engaged, are appropriate for consideration. Research in Dance Education Innovation in Arts Practice Research in Dance Education aims to inform, stimulate and promote the development of research in dance education and is relevant to both learners and teachers. The desire to improve the quality and provision of dance education through lively and critical debate, and the dissemination of research findings is uppermost.
