About this book

Oddey questions the role of the spectator and director, and the nature of art works and performance. She provocatively demonstrates the spectator as centre of the artistic experience, a new kind of making theatre-art, revealing its spirit and nature; searching for space and contemplation in a hectic twenty-first century landscape.

Reviews

'Alison Oddey - a highly regarded performance scholar - broke new ground with her first book on devising for theatre. In this latest intervention, Re-Framing the Theatrical , she makes some radical claims about performance, discussing spirituality, silence in performance, and the emergence of the spectator as performer-protagonist: key themes in contemporary practice and emerging theory.' - Professor Lizbeth Goodman, SMARTlab, University of East London
