ABSTRACT
Theater and Cultural Politics for a New World presents a radical re-examination of the ways in which demographic shifts will impact theater and performance culture in the twenty-first century.
Editor Chinua Thelwell brings together the revealing insights of artists, scholars, and organizers to produce a unique intersectional conversation about the transformative potential of theater.
Opening with a case study of the New WORLD Theater and moving on to a fascinating range of essays, the book looks at five main themes:
- Changing demographics
- Future aesthetics
- Making institutional space
- Critical multiculturalism
- Polyculturalism
