Applied theatre

the long version

Applied Theatre is the first collection to assist practitioners and students in developing critical frameworks for their own community-based theatrical projects. The editors draw on thirty case studies in applied theatre from fifteen countries - covering a wide range of applications from theatre, education, medicine, human rights and community development. The text presents essential readings to provide a comprehensive survey of the field. Infused with an historical and theatrical overview of practical theatre, Applied Theatre offers clear developmental approaches and models for application. -- from back cover.
