Immersive Theater and Activism: Scripts and Strategies for Directors and Playwrights


Add your own review!

Overview

"Immersive theater calls upon audience members to become participants, actors and ""others."" It traditionally offers binary roles--that of oppressor or that of victim--and thereby stands the risk of simplifying complex social situations. Challenging such binaries, this book articulates theatrical ""grey zones"" when addressing juvenile detention, wartime interventions and immigration processes. It presents scripts and strategies for directors and playwrights who want to create theatrical environments that are immersive and pedagogical; aesthetically evocative and politically provocative; simple and complex."
