| Summary: | This book explores the concept and vocabulary of postdramatic theater from a pedagogical perspective. It identifies some of the major anxieties and paradoxes generated by teaching postdramatic theater through practice, with reference to the aesthetic, cultural and institutional pressures that shape teaching practices. It also presents a series of case studies that identify the pedagogical fault lines that expose the power-relations inherent in teaching (with a focus on the higher education sector as opposed to actor training institutions). It uses autoethnography, performance analysis and critical theory to assist university teachers involved in directing theater productions to deepen their understanding of the concept of postdramatic theater |
