But if theatre critics are engaged in new forms of ecocritical analysis, it is worth posing a pertinent question from the outset: namely, what can theatre do ecologically? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, leading researchers and practitioners seek to answer that question from a number of perspectives and with diverse methodologies. Topics include: reflections on rehearsal processes, scores for performance, site-based interventions, ideas of conflict, investigations of temporality and time ecology, ecospectating, and the experience of disappointment. Taken together, these essays make an important intervention in the emergent (inter)disciplines of the Environmental Humanities and further our understanding of the ecological potential of Theatre and Performance in ways that are cautious, tentative but also generative. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eGreen Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Lavery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367529734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367529734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Carl Lavery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983325331711,"sku":"9780367529734","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_797a614a-0d0e-422c-87b9-17fb81c12164.jpg?v=1683265974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performance-and-ecology-carl-lavery-9780367529734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
