Performing arts between politics and policies : implications and challenges / edited by Ana Letunić and Jovana Karaulić

This collection explores questions of: what political discourses emerge in the context of current performing arts practices? What is the efficacy and political reach of performing arts? What are the contexts performances speak from, and what are the contexts they speak to? With this questions the collection strongly emphasizes the political turn in Performance Studies. However, the book does not only reexamine the intrinsic link between politics and performance, but considers the role of policy in this equation. Foregrounding this triangulation, the book examines a range of factors that underpin the relationship of politics, performance, and policy and means through which political performances reach (or fail to reach) their target audiences and communities. The collection offers contributions from both established and emerging scholars, that cover a range of different practical and theoretical aspects and concepts. The collection proposes new conceptual approaches by positioning politicality of contemporary theatre in relation to questions of figurality ; it addresses questions of ethics and responsibility of theatre and community theatre ; and issues of sustainability and diversity as shaped through theatre policies. It includes political dimensions of contemporary dance and queer performance, as well as those of ‘directors’ theatre.
