Thematic chapters include a scholarly contextual introduction together with a range of case studies by artists critically reflecting on their devising process, performance practice and experience.  By exploring these examples, It draws connections between established and lesser-known artists across international contexts, whilst presenting academic and creative reflections on the physical investment of traversing and being embedded in new territories as an integral element of the devising process\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy being nomadic researchers, the artists discussed in this book consider ways in which an immersion in new territories creates new affordances for the performing body to reframe and challenge narratives through 'present' political agency.  Often searching to understand complex identities, inherited histories or political agendas, these creative archaeologists actively mine for new insights and ways to share findings through performance practices. In precarious times from the current war driven devastations of Ukraine, Gaza and beyond, the innumerable refugee crises that ensue, to environmental breakdown and political fissures from Brexit to far-right global populism; this timely volume provides insights into how artists engage with notions of borders, displacement and environment through a displacement of their own bodies and experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosie Garton \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor and Head of Drama and Performance at De Montfort University, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIldikó Rippell\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer and Course Leader for the BA Theatre, Acting and Performance programme at the University of Worcester, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Crossley\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Performing Arts at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 May 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMethuen Drama\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350501577\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e272\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53258942611596,"sku":"9781350501577","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350501577","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
