| Summary: | Situated at the crossroads of performance practice, museology and cultural studies, live arts curation has grown in recent years to become a vibrant interdisciplinary project and a genuine global phenomenon. Curating Live Arts brings together bold and innovative essays from an international group of theorist-practitioners to pose vital questions, propose future visions and survey the landscape of this rapidly evolving discipline. Reflecting the field's characteristic eclecticism, the writings assembled here offer practical and insightful investigations into the curation of theater, dance, sound art, music and other performance forms, not only in museums, but in community, site-specific and time-based contexts, placing it at the forefront of contemporary dialogue and discourse. |
