Besides documenting in their own words the work that was generated, the book captures the artists' dreams for a new post-Covid reality in which theatre is reimagined and issues of racial and economic injustice are addressed. With conversations grouped under 5 broad areas, a host of theatre-makers candidly discuss the present and the future of theatre: * R/evolution: How should theatre evolve rather than re-set? What kind of field could this be, if the arts sector is to survive in the US and UK and if white supremacist, classist, ableist and patriarchal structures are dismantled and acts of regeneration and reformation occur? * What does theatre look like at the local and hyper-local level and when working with young people and communities at risk? * The challenges of creating work in the digital realm and/or exploring socially distanced performance in new ways. * How may theatre address social inequalities and be a place for acts of political and artistic resistance? How has the pandemic galvanised their commitments to communities, arts advocacy, use of languages on the stage and page, and considerations of the living archive? * Acts of communion with audiences, readers, fellow artists, students, and within ensembles and collectives. How do we find new ways to gather and make when liveness and the shared experience are challenged?"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Theater |xPhilosophy. |=^A268195 650 0 Theatrical producers and directors |vInterviews. |=^A241135 650 0 Theater and society |zUnited States. |=^A1019721 650 0 Theater and society |zGreat Britain. |=^A55589 650 6 Théâtre et société |zÉtats-Unis. 650 6 Théâtre et société |zGrande-Bretagne. 650 7 Theater and society. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01149315 650 7 Theater |xPhilosophy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01149273 650 7 Theatrical producers and directors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01149443 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 Interviews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423832 776 08 |iOnline version:Svitch, Caridad. |tToward a future theatre |dLondon ; New York : Methuen Drama, 2021 |z9781350241077 |w(DLC) 2021020337 830 0 Theatre makers. |=^A1279158 949 |i30372017345999 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s90.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5822578
