New Book: Acting Together
Posted by on September 05, 2011
Acting Together
We are very proud to have just released the first book of a two-volume series exploring the role of theater and performance as peacebuilding tools in contexts of war, violence, poverty, and social exclusion. The result of a decade-long collaboration between scholars, educators, performers, and conflict resolution workers, Acting Together I details vivid firsthand accounts of traditional and nontraditional performances in Serbia, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Israel, Palestine, Argentina, Peru, India, Cambodia, and Australia. The second volume (coming November 2011) will broaden the scope of this one-of-a-kind documentation effort with case studies from the Netherlands, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Afghanistan, and the United States. And there is more… The project also includes a documentary film— Acting Together on the World Stage, featuring clips and interviews with the curators and artists, and a wealth of additional resources and tools to continue the discussion.
