[Commlist] New book: Redefining Theatre Communities

Redefining Theatre Communities
Intellect is pleased to announce that */Redefining Theatre Communities/ 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/redefining-theatre-communities>*, edited 
by Marco Galea and Szabolcs Musca, is now available.

/Redefining Theatre Communities /explores the interplay between 
contemporary theatre and communities. It considers the aesthetic, social 
and cultural aspects of community-conscious theatre-making. While doing 
so, the volume reflects on recent transformations in structural, textual 
and theatrical conventions and traditions, and explores the changing 
modes of production and spectatorship in relation to theatre 
communities. The essays edited by Marco Galea and Szabolcs Musca present 
an array of emerging perspectives on the politics, ethics, and practices 
of community representation on the contemporary international theatre 
landscape. An international, interdisciplinary collection featuring work 
by theatre scholars, theatre-makers and artistic directors from across 
Europe and beyond, /Redefining Theatre Communities/ will appeal to those 
interested in the diverse forms of socially engaged theatre and performance.
