Acting Together I: Performance and the Creative – Resistance and Reconciliation in Regions of Violence
Autor Cynthia Cohen, Roberto Gutiérr Varea, Polly O. Walker, Dijana Milosevic, Charles Mulekwaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 iul 2011
Acting Together: Performance and the Creative Transformation of Conflict volume I explores performance as a social justice, conflict resolution, and peacebuilding tool in regions fractured by violence, dislocation, poverty, and oppression. Nine case studies from six continents shape a vocabulary for evaluating community, artist, and ritual-based performance, giving voice to silenced truths.
Performative genres of positive resistance and peace building include traditional and nontraditional theater, storytelling, nonviolent protest, vigil, skateboarding, martial arts, and hip-hop and rap. Photos and vivid firsthand accounts expose performance's unique ability to bypass polemics, heal wounds, and engender a more peaceful future in Argentina, Peru, Serbia, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Palestine, India, Australia, and the United States.

Advance Praise
"Acting Together places before us the human story unfolding. It invites us to penetrate through the mask to the source and the vibrating essence of voice on the journey to find our way back to humanity."
—John Paul Lederach, Professor of International Peacebuilding, University of Notre Dame
"An invaluable resource for the community of practitioners, students, scholars, and activists who are interested in the role of the arts in overcoming the worst of contemporary violence, war, and disaster."
—James Thompson, Professor of Applied and Social Theatre, University of Manchester
"Thanks to the vision and the courageous creativity of the theatre artists across the world who have been willing to share their practice, we in Northern Ireland have new tools to help us excavate our truths and our troubled pasts, to speak to them and to dare to envision a future where our broken world will be healed."
—Pauline Ross, Artistic Director, Derry Playhouse, Northern Ireland
"This book opens even narrowly focused minds to understanding how our global capacity to dream, touch, dance, and feel is a power source, one able to move people from what they know to what they can know, from what they have been told or forced to be to what they can become. For those of us working on the frontline of conflict resolution and reconciliation, this book demonstrates a universal that should and can be understood by students, practitioners, teachers, and the world at large."
—Dee L. Aker, Deputy Director, Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice, University of San Diego
"This publication is long overdue and will serve theatre students, directors, foundations, community-based theatres, and artist-based theatres as a much-needed guide to the complex, multilayered world of intercultural performance and conflict resolution."
—Frank Hentschker, Executive Director, Martin E. Segal Theatre Center, The CUNY Graduate Center
"A significant addition to an emerging field of expertise—performance and conflict. It is difficult not to be inspired by the sheer diversity and versatility of the practices explored."
—Michael Balfour, Chair in Applied and Social Theatre, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia
"Acting Together will shift perspectives and change lives. It could transform the trajectory of human conflicts."
—Dr. Michelle LeBaron, University of British Columbia School of Law, Canada
"Justice before reconciliation! Truth commissions, criminal trials, and the payment of reparations to victims, alongside amnesty for certain categories of perpetrators, provide the foundation upon which the long-term process of reconciliation can begin. But by what means can lasting peace and security be achieved? In this book, Cohen, Varea, and Walker provide us with an awe-inspiring array of creative gestures designed to do just that. I strongly recommend this text to all those who are actively engaged at a grassroots level in promoting coexistence, and to those engaged in the advanced study of this most important of topics."
—Ian McIntosh, Director of International Partnerships, Office of International Affairs, Indiana University
Expert Reviews
"For the first time, the anthology and the Acting Together project provide a platform for peace-building artists to connect and to reflect on their work together with other scholars and practitioners. That in itself is already a significant achievement of the editors and curators of this complex and fascinating collection."
—Serge Loode, Applied Theatre Research
