Abstract "Routledge Performance Practitioners is a series of introductory guides to the key theatre-makers of the last century. Each volume explains the background to and the work of one of the major influences on twentieth- and twenty-first-century performance. Antonin Artaud was an active theatre maker and theorist whose ideas reshaped contemporary approaches to performance. This is the first book to combine: an overview of Artaud's life with a focus on his work as an actor and director an analysis of his key theories, including the Theatre of Cruelty and the double a consideration of his work as a director at the Th©♭©Øtre Alfred Jarry, and his production of Strindberg's A Dream Play a series of practical exercises to develop an approach to theatre based on Artaud's key ideas. As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today's student"-- Provided by publisher.
