It discusses artistic and political values, rehearsal methods and the diverging relationships with actors, designers, other collaborators and audiences, and treatment of dramatic material. Offering a compelling analysis of theatrical practice, Christopher Innes and Maria Shevtsova explore the different rehearsal and staging principles and methods of such earlier groundbreaking figures as Stanislavsky, Meyerhold and Brecht, revising standard perspectives on their work. The authors analyse, as well, a diverse range of innovative contemporary directors, including Ariane Mnouchkine, Elizabeth LeCompte, Peter Sellars, Robert Wilson, Thomas Ostermeier and Oskaras Kors?unovas, among many others. While tracing the different roots of directorial practices across time and space, and discussing their artistic, cultural and political significance, the authors provide key examples of the major directorial approaches and reveal comprehensive patterns in the craft of directing and the influence and collaborative relationships of directors. 410 0$aCambridge introductions to literature. 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTheatrical producers and directors 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction. 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction$xHistory 615 0$aTheatrical producers and directors. 676 $a792.02/33 700 $aInnes$b Christopher$f1941-$0158716 702 $aShevtsova$b Maria 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462874903321 996 $aThe Cambridge introduction to theatre directing$92492442 997 $aUNINA
