Theatre and Architecture

JULIET RUFFORD has held research and teaching posts at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and Queen Mary, University of London, UK. She has co-convened the International Federation of Theatre Research's Theatre Architecture Working Group since 2010, and she was an artist contributor to the 2011 Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space and to the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale. Her research interests span theatre, performance, the politics of space and the performativity of architecture and the object-world.

'Theatre & Architecture is a really rich resource. This short book is full of ideas, glancing between the opposing mirrors of theatre and architecture. A beautifully structured and wonderfully clear introduction to acknowledged areas of theory and practice that is brimming with ideas for further exploration. Rufford creates an excellent rapport with her reader, summarising complex areas deftly and handling a wealth of material in a way that is at once precise, astute and eminently readable.' - Cathy Turner, University of Exeter, UK
