Full Description
Directing Intersectionally: Rethinking Theatre Directing Practices for the 21st Century explores new approaches and techniques for directing theatre, deriving from an intersectional lens.
Centering intersectionality as understood by Fourth-wave Intersectional Feminism and Critical Race Theory, this book looks at new directing practices that are inclusive, sustainable, and care-centered. Contemporary theatre artists propelling these changes are discussed and featured in the book, sharing models for theatre-making that acknowledge and remove toxic histories of patriarchal sexism and racism. Unique considerations for theatre making in academic institutions and student-led theatre, as well as reflections on current theatre collectives, directors, and practitioners who create theatre according to the principles discussed herein, are also featured in the book. Interweaving authors' and practitioners' voices, the book sparks a conversation about how to evolve the director's role and its potential to create art with greater empathy.
Directors at all stages of their careers, instructors teaching directing courses, and theatre-makers contemplating how the theatre industry can progress forward into the next century will benefit from the book's conversational style and practical approach, featuring production examples, resources, and rehearsal-room practices that will help shape the next generation of theatre directors.
