Applied Theatre

International Case Studies and Challenges for Practice - Second Edition

Second Edition

Six years after its initial publication, Applied Theatre returns with a second edition. As the first book to assist practitioners and students to develop critical frameworks for implementing their own theatrical projects, it served as a vital addition to this area of growing international interest, winning the Distinguished Book of the Year award from the American Alliance for Theatre and Education.

Editors Monica Prendergast and Juliana Saxton have updated the book to reflect shifts in practice over the last few years in the world of applied theater. With their background in drama education and pedagogy, the contributors offer introductory chapters and dozens of case studies on applied theater projects around the globe. This new edition of Applied Theatre will encourage students and practitioners to acquire a deeper, more concrete understanding of the field and its best practice.

Reviews

“Editors Prendergast and Saxton have, in their second edition of Applied Theatre, created an invaluable repository of examples of various types of Applied Theater from all over the world. Prendergast and Saxton purposefully offer readers the opportunity to pull back the curtain and learn from the successes, mistakes, and sometime failures of seasoned Applied Theater practitioners. . . . The succinct and concise method Prendergast and Saxton use to define terms, methodologies, models, and motifs would be of significant use to the new practitioner looking to learn more about and starting to facilitate Applied Theater. For the more seasoned practitioner it acts as a refresher in the core concepts in our field, and an inspiration regarding the work our colleagues around world are doing, using theater to make their communities and the world more compassionate, just, and critically engaged.”
