Description

This book takes us on a spectator’s journey engaging with art forms that cross boundaries of categorization.
Alison Oddey takes us on a spectator’s journey engaging with art forms that cross boundaries of categorization. She questions the role of the spectator and director, including interviews with Deborah Warner; the nature of art works and performance with artists Heather Ackroyd, Dan Harvey and Graeme Miller. She provocatively demonstrates the spectator as centre of the artistic experience, a new kind of making theatre-art, revealing its spirit and nature; searching for space and contemplation in a hectic Twenty-First century landscape.
ALISON ODDEY is Visiting Professor of Contemporary Performance and Visual Culture at the University of Northampton, UK. As a broadcaster, she wrote and presented the BBC Radio 4 series ‘Stand-ups and Strumpets’. Her publications include The Potentials of Spaces, Performing Women and Devising Theatre.
