Over the past thirty years the Théâtre du Soleil has become one of the most celebrated theatre companies in Europe, and Ariane Mnouchkine one of Europe’s best-known directors. Collaborative Theatre is the first in-depth sourcebook on this unique theatrical troupe, providing English readers with first- hand accounts giving rare insights into the development of its creative processes, collectivist practices and driving passions. Collaborative Theatre presents critical and historical essays by theatre scholars from around the world as well as the writings of and interviews with members of the Théâtre du Soleil, past and present. The volume is divided into chapters on five key productions: 1789, L’Age d’Or, Richard II, L’Indiade and Les Atrides. These reveal the recurrent concerns and themes of the company, such as the ethics and politics of collaboration; the theatrical re-visioning of history; the training of performers; the role of a director in collective work.

Peter Brook and Ariane Mnouchkine are among the most important directors in recent theatre history. This book focuses on two of their landmark productions, 'Mahabharata' (1985) and 'Les Atrides' (1992-1994) respectively, in order to uncover parallel methodologies in the transfer of ancient mythological narratives to the contemporary French stage. It investigates audiences' relationship with these works re-told, questioning their/our relationship to heritage, at a time when marketing departments and politicians re-hash the same old stories to cajole would-be consumers and voters

The Routledge Companion to Performance Practitioners collects the outstanding biographical and production overviews of key theatre practitioners first featured in the popular Routledge Performance Practitioners series of guidebooks. Each of the chapters is written by an expert on a particular figure, from Stanislavsky and Brecht to Laban and Decroux, and places their work in its social and historical context. Summaries and analyses of their key productions indicate how each practitioner's theoretical approaches to performance and the performer were manifested in practice. All 22 practitioners from the original series are represented, with this volume covering those born after 1915. This is the definitive first step for students, scholars and practitioners hoping to acquaint themselves with the leading names in performance, or deepen their knowledge of these seminal figures.
