Ecoscenography
This ground-breaking book is the first to bring an ecological focus to theatre and performance design, both in scholarship and in practice. Ecoscenography weaves environmental philosophies and practices across genres and fields to provide a captivating vision for the future of sustainable theatre production. The book forefronts leading designers that are driving this emerging field into the mainstream through their relational and reciprocal engagement with place, audiences, materials, and processes. Beyond its radical philosophy and framework, Ecoscenography makes a compelling case for pursuing an ecological ethic in theatre and performance design, not only as a moral imperative, but for the extraordinary possibilities that it offers for more-than-human engagement. Based on her personal insights as a leading ecological researcher and practitioner, Beer offers a rich resource for scholars, students and practitioners alike, opening up new processes and aesthetics of theatrical design that enhance the environmental and social advocacy of the field.

Cold War Theatre (Routledge Revivals)
Cold War Theatre, first published in 1992, provides an account of the theatrical history within the context of East/West politics. Its geographical span ranges from beyond the Urals to the Pacific Coast of the US, and asks whether the Cold War confrontation was not in part due to the cultural climate of Europe. Taking the McCarthy era as its starting point, this readable history considers the impact of the Cold War upon the major dramatic movements of our time, East and West. The author poses the question as to whether European habits of mind, fostered by their cultures, may not have contributed to the political stalemates of the Cold War. A wide range of actors from both the theatrical and political stages are discussed, and their contributions to the theatre of the Cold War examined in a hugely enjoyable and enlightening narrative. This book is ideal for theatre studies students.
Pouvoir et théâtre, pouvoir du théâtre
Le théâtre européen est-il en situation de résistance ou bien de reconquête ? Depuis plusieurs siècles, le monde politique et celui des hommes de théâtre sont liés par des rapports de séduction et de méfiance. Où en est-on aujourd'hui ? Par méfiance devant une activité qu'elle jugerait mal supportable ou, au contraire, parce que le théâtre aurait perdu de sa capacité de mobilisation, de son pouvoir critique et de sa force symbolique, l'autorité politique semble tentée de mesurer ou de réduire son aide au théâtre. Comment le théâtre vit-il les nouvelles conditions qui lui sont faites ? C'est le débat qui a animé ce Ier Forum du Théâtre Européen à Nice et dont cet ouvrage restitue les communications et les interventions. D'autre part, on y trouvera les rapports venant de 32 pays d'Europe, donnant l'état des lieux et l'évolution récente du théâtre dans chacun de ces pays, en particulier par rapport au thème choisi pour le Forum.
