Overview
Six years after its initial publication, Applied Theatre returns
with a second edition. As the first book to assist practitioners and
students to develop critical frameworks for implementing their own
theatrical projects, it served as a vital addition to this area of
growing international interest, winning the Distinguished Book of the
Year award from the American Alliance for Theatre and Education.
Editors Monica Prendergast and Juliana Saxton have updated the book to
reflect shifts in practice over the last few years in the world of
applied theater. With their background in drama education and pedagogy,
the contributors offer introductory chapters and dozens of case studies
on applied theater projects around the globe. This new edition of Applied Theatre will encourage students and practitioners to acquire a deeper, more concrete understanding of the field and its best practice.
