It brings together leading and emerging practitioners and researchers in a volume dedicated to exploring the phenomenon and showcasing a range of possible critical and theoretical approaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book considers the aesthetics and phenomenology of dark, gloomy and shadow-strewn theatre performances, as well as the historical and cultural significances of darkness, shadow and the night in theatre and performance contexts. It is concerned as much with the experiences elicited by darkness and obscured or diminished lighting as it is with the conditions that define, frame and at times re-shape what each might 'mean' and 'do'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors provide surveys of relevant practice, interviews with practitioners, theoretical reflections and close critical analyses of work by key innovators in the aesthetics of light, shadow and darkness. The book has a particular focus on the work of contemporary theatre makers - including Sound\u0026amp;Fury, David Rosenberg and Glen Neath, Lundahl \u0026amp; Seitl, Extant, and Analogue - and seeks to deepen the engagement of theatre and performance studies with what might be called 'the sensory turn'. \u003ci\u003eTheatre in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e explores ground-breaking areas that will appeal to researchers, practitioners and audiences alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Alston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350099406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350099401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Adam Alston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925004058879,"sku":"9781350099401","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dd6851da-307c-4ff8-baf9-885c061206be.jpg?v=1681074752","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theatre-in-the-dark-adam-alston-9781350099401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
