{"product_id":"9781789388879","title":"Socially Engaged Creative Practice : Contemporary Case Studies by Kate Aughterson","description":"This is?the second book in the Performance and Communities series.? An edited collection from academics and artists?engages with both these notions of?performance - that of identities in and through?time and space - and of more formal instances of?specific time-limited performances; textual, embodied, visual and communal.   Each chapter?focuses on an individual or group's mode of?working and methodological practice of?performance across a range of modes, disciplines?and media - from community opera to online?queer performance, from anti-racist class-room pedagogy to 1980s cabaret in nightclubs, from?community art projects in schools to community?writing projects in transport interchanges, the?performers, writers and creators represented here?all engage and grapple with contemporary?performance as a situated practice and as a?problematic.   The personal perspective of each?performer - directors, librettists, producers,?writers, performers - is explicitly located in a?community and the book offers a series of case?studies detailing socially engaged work that aligns?with concepts of performance and community.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306881528181,"sku":"9781789388879","price":109.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789388879.jpg?v=1762802297","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789388879","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
