"Routledge Companion To Audiences And The Performing Arts | Theatre And Performance

The Routledge Companion to Audiences and the Performing Arts represents a truly multi-dimensional exploration of the inter-relationships between audiences and performance. This study considers audiences contextually and historically through both qualitative and quantitative empirical research and places them within appropriate philosophical and socio-cultural discourses. Ultimately the collection marks the point where audiences have become central and essential not just to the act of performance itself but also to theatre dance opera music and performance studies as academic disciplines. This Companion will be of great interest to academics researchers and postgraduates as well as to theatre dance opera and music practitioners and performing arts organisations and stakeholders involved in educational activities.|Routledge Companion to Audiences and the Performing Arts | Theatre and Performance
