Book synopsis

Collective creation and devising are central to the development of the§modern theatre-and women, central to the development of collaborative theatre§practice. This volume traces a web of women theatremakers in Europe and North§America, exploring the connections between the workers theatre and dramatic§play movements of the Settlement Houses, total theatre in 1920s' France, the§mid-century avant-garde and New Left collectives, the nomadic performances of§Europe's transnational theatre troupes, and contemporary devising. Finally, the§book investigates the street-theatre protests of Occupy and Pussy Riot. In so§doing, the book further elucidates a history of modern theatre begun in A§History of Collective Creation and Collective Creation in Contemporary§Performance (2013), in which the seemingly marginal and disparate practices§of collective creation and devising are revealed as central-and women§theatremakers revealed as progenitors of these practices.
