Overview

Infused with a historical and theoretical overview of practical theater, this book offers clear developmental approaches and models for its application. Applied Theatre was the first collection to assist practitioners and students in developing critical frameworks for their own community-based theatrical projects. The editors draw on thirty case studies in applied theater from fifteen countries—covering a wide range of disciplines, from theater studies to education, medicine, and law—and collect essential readings to provide a comprehensive survey of the field. This third edition offers refreshed case studies from many countries worldwide that provide exemplars for the practice of applied theater. The book will be useful to both instructors and students, in its focus on providing clear introductory chapters that lay out the scope of the field, dozens of case studies in all areas of the field, and a new chapter on responses to the global pandemic of 2020.
