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.
