African Theatre 10: Media and Performance PDF
Edited by Martin Banham, James Gibbs, Femi Osofisan
Part of the African Theatre series
Description
Examines the impact of new media (such as video and YouTube) and the use of multi-media on live and recorded performance in Africa.
Focuses on the ways African theatre and performance relate to various kinds of media. Includes contributions on dance; popular video, with an emphasis on video drama and soaps from Eastern and Southern Africa, and the Nigerian 'Nollywood' phenomenon; the interface between live performance and video (or still photography), and links between on-line social networks and new performance identities. As a group the articles raise, from original angles, the issues of racism, gender, identity, advocacy and sponsorship.
