While Performance Studies recognizes the universality of human performance in daily life, what is specifically under investigation here is performance as an activity intentionally entered into as a means of engaging social issues and conflicts, that is, as an ensemble activity by which we re-construct/transform social reality. Performance Activism: Precursors and Contemporary Pioneers provides a global overview of the growing interface of performance with education, therapy, conflict resolution, civic engagement, community development and social justice activism. It combines an historical study of the processes by which, over the course of the 20th Century, performance has been loosened from the institutional constraints of the theatre with a mosaic-like overview of the diverse work/play of contemporary performance activists around the world. Performance Activism will be of interest to theatre and cultural historians, performance practitioners and researchers, psychologists and sociologists, educators and youth workers, community organizers and political activists. Dan Friedman is the Artistic Director Emeritus of the Castillo Theatre in New York City, a lead organizer of the bi-annual Performing the World Conference, and is on the faculty of the East Side Institute. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies In Play, Performance, Learning, and Development,$x2946-2649 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aContemporary Theatre and Performance 606 $aSocial Policy 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aContemporary Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a791 676 $a792.013 700 $aFriedman$b Dan$01076096 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512157803321 996 $aPerformance Activism$92586219 997 $aUNINA
