Developed between 2013 and 2018 by the Ensemble Kashmir Theatre Akademi and Nandita Dinesh, the play uses a durational, promenade format to immerse its audience within a multitude of perspectives on life in Kashmir. From a wedding celebration that is interrupted by curfew, to schoolboys divided by policing strategies, and soldiers struggling with a toxic mixture of boredom and trauma, \u003cem\u003eChronicles from Kashmir\u003c\/em\u003e uses performance, installation and collaborative creation to grapple with Kashmir's conflicts through the lenses of outsiders, insiders, and everyone in between.\u003cbr\u003eDue to varying degrees of censorship and suppression, the play has not been performed live since 2017. This book is, therefore, an attempt to keep \u003cem\u003eChronicles from Kashmir\u003c\/em\u003e alive by including filmed scenes, a script, contextual questions, a glossary, and illuminating introductions by Nandita Dinesh and EKTA founder Bhawani Bashir Yasir. A valuable Open Access resource for practitioners, educators and students of performance and conflict, this book is also stimulating reading for anybody who has asked, 'What is happening in Kashmir?'\u003cbr\u003eThis playscript includes: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty filmed scenes of the play in performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA range of contextual questions to stimulate discussion on staging site-adaptive theatre in places of conflict\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA helpful glossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nandita Dinesh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800640188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800640184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Nandita Dinesh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453931008255,"sku":"9781800640184","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da17c021-5c13-4424-b2b0-4cdaccf93adf.jpg?v=1777303098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chronicles-from-kashmir-nandita-dinesh-9781800640184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
