We often know performance when we see it - but how should we investigate it? And how should we interpret what we find out? This book demonstrates why and how mixed methods research is necessary for investigating and explaining performance and advancing new critical agendas in cultural study. The wide range of aesthetic forms, cultural meanings, and social functions found in theatre and performance globally invites a corresponding variety of research approaches. The essays in this volume model reflective consideration of the means, processes, and choices for conducting performance research that is historical, ethnographic, aesthetic, or computational. An international set of contributors address what is meant by planning or designing a research project, doing research (locating and collecting primary sources or resources), and the ensuing work of interpreting and communicating insights. Providing illuminating and necessary guidance, this volume is an essential resource for scholars and students of theatre, performance, and dance.

Using the character as a central element, this volume provides insights into the Theatre of the Absurd, highlighting its specific key characteristics. Adopting both semiotic-structuralist and mathematical approaches, its analysis of the absurdist character introduces new models of investigation, including a possible algebraic model operating on the scenic, dramatic and paradigmatic level of a play, not only exploring the relations, configurations, confrontations, functions and situations but also providing necessary information for a possible geometric model. The book also takes into consideration the relations established among the most important units of a dramatic work, character, cue, décor and régie, re-configuring the basic pattern. It will be useful for any reader interested in analyzing, staging or writing a play starting from a single character.

"Scenography in Musical Theatre answers the questions: What are the ways that scenography acts as a mode of storytelling within the genre of musical theatre?; Who are the major designers that have shaped the way in which audiences expect musicals to look and sound?; and what have innovations in design technology and practice enabled composers and lyricists to do with musical theatre that were not possible before? This introductory text describes and analyses, within the context of the theatrical event, the theories, strategies, and tools of creative design for the purposes of performance. Aimed at a reader with little knowledge of theatre design, this book demonstrates the dynamics of good design through the works of influential designers who have collaborated on the seminal repertoire of the Anglo-American musical theatre since 1960. Through detailed historical analysis readers learn to recognize the importance of play analysis in theatre design. They also discover how to identify the fundamentals of design process, and recognize the role of individual design areas such as scenery, costumes, lighting, sound and projection in visualizing the work of composers, lyricists, and bookwriters. Published as part of the Topics in Musical Theatre series, this foundational book opens the readers' eyes to the processes that underlie musical theatrical design and provides them with an appreciation of the designer's role in the production of musical theatre for Broadway and the West End."--
