World Theatre: The Basics presents a well-rounded introduction to non-Western theatre, exploring the history and current practice of theatrical traditions in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Oceania, the Caribbean, and the non-English-speaking cultures of the Americas.
This new edition includes new examples from across the world and new discussions on cultural appropriation and appreciation, marginalised voices within countries across the world within the context of theatre, and the impact of war on theatre. This book enables the reader to understand the key issues surrounding world theatre scholarship and global, postcolonial, and transnational performance practices. Organised by region, the text encourages students to explore the complex cultural dynamics of a wide range of theatrical traditions. Case studies for each region are used to give students an overview of movements, practices, artists and texts which are overlooked in Eurocentric introductions to theatre.
An essential read for anyone seeking to learn more about world theatre, World Theatre: The Basics provides a clear, accessible roadmap for approaching non-Western theatre.
