Re-Framing the Theatrical: Interdisciplinary Landscapes for Performance

Front Cover
Springer, Dec 17, 2015 - Performing Arts - 250 pages
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.
