CARYSFORT PRESS LTD DEVISED PERFORMANCE IN IR...

Devised Performance in Irish Theatre: Histories and Contemporary Practice is the first
collection to focus exclusively on devised theatre throughout the island of Ireland by bringing
together a range of perspectives from both academics and practitioners. It situates the
histories and contemporary practice of devised performance in the Irish theatre  responding to
a decisive shift in the working approach of several prominent emerging companies including ANU
Productions  Brokentalkers  THEATREclub  and THISISPOPBABY. This collection takes a historical
approach that demonstrates how this contemporary surge of work builds on a physical and dance
theatre movement in Irish theatre that began to coalesce in the 1990s through the work of
companies like Barabbas  Macnas  Blue Raincoat  and Pan Pan which was in turn influenced by
earlier community arts practice on the island of Ireland beginning in the late 1970s. Devised
Performance in Irish Theatre makes visible a uniquely Irish body of work that will also further
international understandings of devised performance as collaborative process and working
methodology.
