Contemporary Storytelling Performance : Female Artists on Practices, Platforms, Presences Hardback
by Stephe Harrop
Part of the Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies series
Hardback
Description
This book focuses on a rising generation of female storytellers, analysing their innovation in interdisciplinary collaboration, and their creation of new multimedia platforms for story-led performance.
It draws on an unprecedented series of in-depth interviews with artists including Jo Blake, Xanthe Gresham-Knight, Mara Menzies, Clare Murphy, Debs Newbold, Rachel Rose Reid, Sarah Liisa Wilkinson, and Vanessa Woolf, while Sally Pomme Clayton’s reflections on her extraordinary four-decade career provide long-term context for these cutting-edge conversations.
Blending ethnographic research and performance analysis, this book documents the working lives of professional storytelling artists.
It also sheds light on the practices, values, aspirations, and achievements of a generation actively redefining storytelling as a contemporary performance practice, taking on topics from ecology and maternity to griefwork and neuroscience, while working collaboratively with diverse creative partners to generate new, inclusive presences for a traditionally-inspired artform.
This book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in drama, theatre, performance, creative writing, education, and media.
