Authoring Performance: The Director in Contemporary Theatre

Avra Sidiropoulou

0/5 ( ratings)

Providing a comparative approach to the internationally wide-spread phenomenon of the contemporary director-auteur in the theatre, Authoring Performance urges a historical and theoretical exploration of the visions, methods, and stage idioms in the work of established artists. Sidiropoulou examines prominent examples of both older and more recent director-auteur work, aiming at re-asserting - to its artistic and academic audience - the value of balancing the established emphasis on the diegetic aspects of theatre with the ever-spreading varieties of dramatic de-"centering" and "dissemination." This exciting work also poses questions of authorship, which necessarily imply the redefinition of the relationship between "playwright" and the director-playwright.
