Migrating Modernist Performance : British Theatrical Travels Through Russia, Paperback / softback Book

Migrating Modernist Performance : British Theatrical Travels Through Russia Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Exploring the experiences of early to mid-twentieth century British theatre-makers in Russia, this book imagines how these travellers interpreted Russian realism, symbolism, constructivism, agitprop, pageantry, dance or cinema. With some searching for an alternative to the corporate West End, some for experimental techniques and others still for methods that might politically inspire their audiences, did these journeys make any differences to their practice? And how did distinctly Russian techniques affect British theatre history?Migrating Modernist Performance seeks to answer these questions, reimagining the experiences and creative output of a range of, often under-researched, practitioners.

What emerges is a dynamic collection of performances that bridge geographical, aesthetic, chronological and political divides.
