Review :
Stimulated by the pioneering work of Richard Schechner, this book does, as the saying goes, 'exactly what it says on the tin' ... [It] should appeal to a wide audience of under -graduate and postgraduate readers, particularly researchers and teachers of performance studies, whose academic palate savours the varied taste of international research cuisine, captured in a stimulating menu of 'real world' case studies. The power of the book is to be found in the creative and contemporary insights captured in the versatility of these case studies and the attention to detail paid to the dynamic relations between topics in both the social and pure sciences as well as the humanities. -- Deborah Newton New Theatre Quarterly As well as providing a platform for practitioners and scholars working at the bleeding edge of performance, adapting theory to real world contexts and reflecting on issues raised by practice, the editors have collated truly international perspectives.
