The Question of Skill offers a re-thinking of how theatre-making might be understood as a skilled craft and process, exploring how contemporary, professional contexts allow skill to emerge in a multitude of ways, often as a result of collective knowledge and collaboration.The book argues that notions of skill tend to be uncritically accepted to suggest abilities that are learnt and applied or associated with a particular and stable set of techniques. But skill is, instead, never a neutral term but suggests processes, values and systems.This study covers topics such as training, rehearsing and performing with a focus on the roles of the actor and director. As well as interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives, especially drawn from cognitive studies, it also discusses examples of skill as virtuosic performance.Throughout, the book draws on first-hand observations of international contemporary theatre-makers in rehearsal and performance, including the contemporary work of Katie Mitchell, Anne Bogart, Odin Teatret, the RSC, the National Theatre, and Encounter Productions. As well as diverse training, rehearsal and performance contexts, it includes Fevered Sleep’s Men & Girls Dance (2016), Simon Stone’s Phaedra (National Theatre, 2023) and Jan Fabre’s Mount Olympus: To Glorify the Cult of Tragedy (2015). It probes how theatre is made as an always skilled, human endeavour, and, in a post-Covid age, what the future may bring.

This collection offers an examination of and guide to interdisciplinary collaboration through the working practices of performance makers, exploring its pleasures, problems and pitfalls.The book explores contemporary working practices at the interfaces between performance and other disciplines. Focusing on collaborations between theatre makers and these ‘others’, it investigates the processes and conditions involved in the interdisciplinary. Chapters cover areas such as psychology, the environment, physical cultures, the military, healthcare, festivals and communities, architecture, pedagogy and fine dining.At a time when interdisciplinary practice is actively encouraged in the academy, this book asks what it means in practical terms to engage with artists and scholars outside of our home territories. Where does the interdisciplinary exist and what does it rely on? How do theatre makers approach and sustain these projects? What is the nature of the journey?Offering examples of unusual collaborations and arranged through 3 key areas of performance-making, this book acknowledges the difficulties of such work and that the aims of interdisciplinarity can fail, while examining how new methods and understandings can shift notions of knowledge.
