INTERCULTURAL PERFORMANCE READER, THE

In A Reader in Intercultural Performance, Patrice Pavis gathers together key artists and scholars from around the world to provide, for the first time, a truly international overview. Intercultural performance has innate, enormous potential for open dialogue between cultures, though the best-documented perspectives are those of Western artists such as Peter Brook, Richard Schechner, Jacques Lecoq and Ariane Mnouchkine. This reader raises new questions and debates by placing these views alongside those of artists from African, Maori, Chinese and Indian theatre. The result is an unparalleled exchange of ideas which demonstrates the new possibilities and politics of intercultural performance. A Reader in Intercultural Performance is essential, unprecedented and eye-opening reading for students, scholars and practitioners alike.
