Dramaturgy and Architecture approaches modern and postmodern theatre's contribution to the way we think about the buildings and spaces we inhabit.

This edited volume considers performance in its engagement with expanding Indian cities, with a particular focus on festivals and performances in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The editors ask how performance practices are affected by urbanisation, the effects of such changes on their cultural economy, and the environmental impacts of performance itself. This project also considers how performance responds to its context, and the potential for performance to be critical of the city’s development, and of its own compromises. Bringing together perspectives from the humanities, natural and social sciences, the book takes a multi-faceted analytical view of live performance, connecting contemporary with heritage forms, and human with more-than-human actors. The three sections, themed around heritage, everyday life, and future ecologies, will be of great interest to students and scholars in performance, heritage studies, ecology and art history.

This collection comprises a comprehensive overview of key themes, arguments, and practices central to the study and understanding of site-specific performance.Its collected essays, case studies, and practitioner accounts represent a must-have resource that engages with established and emergent ideas, themes, and practices central to this performance sub-discipline. Acknowledging the interdisciplinary nature of this field emergent through the creation and presentation of performance in non-theatre spaces, the companion includes writing from scholars whose work intersects with ideas from a range of related fields including dance, theatre, dramaturgy, human geography, architecture, walking studies, and archaeology. Alongside theoretical discussions and case study examples, a section on methods and structures allows site-specific practitioners to illustrate a range of practical approaches, tasks, and modes of producing site-specific performance in a range of sites.This interdisciplinary survey brings together practices and voices from a wide range of global contexts, demonstrating and challenging the breadth of site-specific discourse. It provides a rich palette of perspectives, approaches, and ideas for students, academics, and researchers to draw from.

This open access book is the first to provide a detailed and historical account of what it means to make theatre out-doors, in the open air. Supplemented throughout with case studies of practice and interviews with theatre makers, this study traverses themes of the environment, climate, community, performance design, the performer's body and audience dynamics.Spanning practices from antiquity to the present day, from Greek and Roman amphitheatre performances to al-fresco seaside entertainments, large-scale spectacle, street theatre, site-specific performance and contemporary live art, theatrical performance in the open-air has a rich past that underpins its vibrant present. Open-Air Theatre draws on extensive interviews with contemporary practitioners from Britain and Ireland, contextualizing their experiences of making performance within these diverse histories and situating them in a global context. In doing so it addresses a range of questions: What are the sensible properties of the open-air and how do its textures or perceived moods affect a performance? In what ways is a body’s capacity to perform shaped by the open-air? How does performance in the open air gather its audience together and create (or dissipate) a sense of community? How do chance events impinge upon or enhance the work? How do the places of performance, open to the sky, differ from the enclosed spaces of theatre buildings, or even the enclosed rooms of immersive work? The book responds to these questions by uniting varied practices that are presented outdoors, highlighting their shared aesthetics, technologies of production, embodied experiences, effects, and responses as well as attending to their formal and material differences. Chapters conclude with a set of questions and suggestions for thinking about practice and making performance in the open-air, and the book ends with a series of provocations about the nature of the ‘open’ air and the function of performance within it.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
