Andy Lavender argues provocatively that after the 'classic' postmodern tropes of detachment, irony, and contingency, performance in the twenty-first century engages more overtly with meaning, politics and society. It involves a newly pronounced form of personal experience, often implicating the body and\/or one's sense of self. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume examines a range of performance events, including work by both emergent and internationally significant companies and artists such as Rimini Protokoll, Blast Theory, dreamthinkspeak, Zecora Ura, Punchdrunk, Ontroerend Goed, Kris Verdonck, Dries Verhoeven, Rabih Mroué, Derren Brown and David Blaine. It also considers a wider range of cultural phenomena such as online social networking, sports events, installations, games-based work and theme parks, where principles of performance are in play. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerformance in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling and provocative resource for anybody interested in discovering how performance theory can be applied to cutting-edge culture, and indeed the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Lavender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041559233X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415592338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Andy Lavender","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136103395583,"sku":"9780415592338","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9633fc3-c04f-4c3f-a61e-8a85ea2262a6.jpg?v=1770160533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performance-in-the-twenty-first-century-andy-lavender-9780415592338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
