Theatre of Good Intentions
Theatre of Good Intentions examines limitations of theatre in the creation of social and political change. This book looks at some of the reasons why achieving such goals is hard; examining what theatre can and can't do. It examines a range of applied and political theatre case studies, focusing on theatre's impact on participants and spectators.
Impacting Theatre Audiences
This edited collection explores methods for conducting critical empirical research examining the potential impacts of theatrical events on audience members. Dani Snyder-Young and Matt Omasta present an overview of the burgeoning subfield of audience studies in theatre and performance studies, followed by an introduction to the wide range of ways scholars can study the experiences of spectators. Consisting of chapter-length case studies, the book addresses methodologies for examining spectatorship, including qualitative, quantitative, historical/historiographic, arts-based, participatory, and mixed methods approaches. This volume will be of great interest to theatre and performance studies scholars as well as industry professionals working in marketing, audience development, and community engagement.
Privileged Spectatorship
Many professional theater artists attempt to use live performances in formal theater spaces to disrupt racism and create a more equitable society. Privileged Spectatorship: Theatrical Interventions in White Supremacy examines the impact of such projects, looking at how and why they do and do not intervene in white supremacy. In this incisive study, Dani Snyder-Young examines audience responses to a range of theatrical events that focus on race‐related conflict or racial identity in the contemporary United States. The audiences for these performances, produced at mainstream not‐for‐profit professional theaters in major American cities in 2013–18, reflect dominant patterns of theater a...

Theatre, Performance and Change
This book works to 'make change strange' from and for the field of theatre and performance studies. Growing from the idea that change is an under-interrogated category that over-determines theatre and performance as an artistic, social, educational, and material practice, the scholars and practitioners gathered here (including specialists in theatre history and literature, educational theatre, youth arts, arts policy, socially invested theatre, and activist performance) take up the question of change in thirty-five short essays. For anyone who has wondered about the relationships between theatre, performance and change itself, this book is an essential conversation starter.
Creating Immersive Learning Experiences Through Virtual Reality (VR)
In the evolving educational environment, the search for engaging and effective learning experiences has led to the research and implementation of the latest technologies. Among them, virtual reality (VR) stands out as a transformative tool that promises to redefine the transmission and absorption of information. Bringing VR to education is not just a technical innovation, but a pedagogical revolution. It represents a shift from passive learning to active learning, where students are not only observers but participants in their educational journey. Creating Immersive Learning Experiences Through Virtual Reality (VR) provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the application of VR technologies in education, highlighting the gaps in current literature, future research goals, and facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration among technologists, educators, and policymakers to better address the complex challenges of the effective adoption of these technologies. This book provides case studies, evidence-based knowledge and practical guidance regarding ethical concerns, theoretical foundations, practical applications, and pedagogical strategies.

This book concludes ...
Applied Theatre: Understanding Change
This volume offers researchers and practitioners new perspectives on applied theatre work, exploring the relationship between applied theatre and its intent, success and value. Applied theatre is a well-established field focused on the social application of the arts in a range of contexts including schools, prisons, residential aged care and community settings. The increased uptake of applied theatre in these contexts requires increased analysis and understanding of indications of success and value. This volume provides critical commentary and questions regarding issues associated with developing, delivering and evaluating applied theatre programs. Part 1 of the volume presents a discussion of the ways the concept of change is presented to and by funding bodies, practitioners, participants, researchers and policy makers to discover and analyse the relationships between applied theatre practice, transformative intent, and evaluation. Part 2 of the volume offers perspectives from key authors in the field which extend and contextualize the discussion by examining key themes and practice-based examples.
Critical Themes in Drama
Critical Themes in Drama is concerned with the relationship between drama and the current socio-political context. It builds on and contributes to ongoing scholarly conversations regarding the use, benefit, challenges and opportunities for drama and theatre as a social, cultural, educational and political act. The intention of this book is to canvas current theory and practice in drama, to provide an extended examination of how drama as a pro-social practice intersects with socio-cultural institutions, to link critical discourse and examine ways drama may contribute to a broader social justice agenda. Authors draw on a variety of theoretical tools from the fields of sociology, anthropology a...
