Reviews

Making Interdisciplinary Performance brings together fascinating contributions from practitioners, scholars and educators (and those who combine these in various ways) who explore the mess, playfulness and complexity of making work across conventional boundaries. It will be of value to those who want a pragmatic and reflective account of both methods and understandings of interdisciplinarity. * Paul Johnson, University of Chester, UK *
