Applied Theatre and Intercultural Dialogue: Playfully Approaching Difference: Palgrave Studies In Play, Performance, Learning, and Development

Autor Elliot Leffler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 noi 2022
This book examines applied theatre projects that bring together diverse groups and foster intercultural dialogue. Based on five case studies and informed by play theory, it argues that the playful elements of theatre processes nurture a unique intimacy among diverse people.  However, this playful quality can also dampen explicit conversations about participants’ cultural differences, and defer an interrogation of people’s own entrenchment in systemic power imbalances. As a result, addressing these differences and imbalances in applied theatre contexts may require particular strategies.
