Passing as friends Conclusion Appendix 1: Lying Fallow Appendix 2: Experiments in Listening Bibliography IndexReviewsExperiments in Listening is a critical, caring, poetic and generous gift to scholars invested in epistemic undoings of Euro-colonial conceptualisations of 'theatre' and 'performance'. In this beautifully written book, Shah offers a philosophical recalibration of our fields by enabling readers to enter a mode of listening - an attentiveness to words, worlds and actions - through a 'commitment to not-knowing'. By compellingly centring hitherto marginalised voices, perspectives and practices, the book demands a recognition of performance-making as a process through which iterative, non-linear and embodied knowledge-systems live and breathe. -- Royona Mitra, reader in dance and performance cultures, Brunel University London Author InformationRajni Shah has been an artist since 1999, working independently and collectives to create the conditions for performances, publications, conversations, and gatherings on and off-stage.
