Ric Allsopp - Böcker

Europe is a continent in a state of rapid - and frequently unsettling, transition. In the past five years, a total of twelve new states have emerged in a continent in which only five countries can boast of having had stable borders for more than a hundred years. Accompanied by in-depth articles and interviews discussing European performance today, Letters From Europe uses the framing device of the letter - letters from theatre makers, artists and critics - to present an intensive, up-to-date survey of the performance forms of the new Europe and their relationship with the past.

First published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

The question of illusion and reality - the relationship of representation and lived experience to the arts and to broader philosophical considerations - continues to be a central issue in contemporary performance.

On America will respond to the powerful presence in contemporary culture of aesthetic forms and political strategies derived from North America. Counterpointing Letters from Europe, this book will address the use and abuse of images of and from North America, the deconstruction in performance theory and practice of North American art, film and performance, and the presentation of America as genre and fiction.

Performance Research: On Ritual will examine a range of ritual practices bordering on or intended to be seen as theatre. It will explore both historical and systematic connections between ritual and theatre, present the work of contemporary artists, and reflect on the role and meaning of ritual for theatrical purposes in the late 20th century.

On Line will explore the changing conditions caused by emerging digital media, information and communication technologies as they relate to performance practice and discourse.
