The Routledge Dictionary of Performance and Contemporary Theatre

The Routledge Dictionary of Contemporary Theatre and Performance provides the first authoritative alphabetical guide to the theatre and performance of the last 30 years. _x005F_x000D_ Conceived and written by one of the foremost scholars and critics of theatre in the world, it literally takes us from Activism to Zapping, analysing everything along the way from Body Art and the Flashmob to Multimedia and the Postdramatic. _x005F_x000D_ What we think of as 'performance' and 'drama' has undergone a transformation in recent decades. Similarly how these terms are defined, used and critiqued has also changed, with the help of theorists from Derrida to Ranciere. Patrice Pavis's Dictionary provides an indispensible roadmap for this terrain; a volume no theatre bookshelf can afford to be without. _x005F_x000D_  _x005F_x000D_
