| Summary: | What it means to 'be' goes to the heart of drama. But in order to engage with theater's Being-in-the-world, we need to attend to the meaning of being both in everyday life and in the creative process. This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to key concepts of phenomenology in relation to theater, showing how they shed light on the works of influential theater-makers such as Brecht, Artaud and Stanislavski. By placing these concepts in dialogue with theater-makers, Johnston is able to demonstrate how philosophical ideas can be put to work in a theatrical context and how we can approach difficult theory from a practical perspective. |
