"Robert Lepage is recognized as a world leader in the production of innovative theatre for a global community. This study considers Lepage's encounter with a more immediate significant other, namely English Canada, and contends that while the triumph and popularity of Lepage's theatre is very much global, the artist's relationship with the "Rest of Canada" remains a central component of the identity question consistently addressed throughout his work. The book shows how Lepage was formed by, and in conversation with, Toronto. While this approach by no means contradicts the emphasis on globalisation, and indeed, adds another port of call, it brings to the fore a fundamental relationship critical to a fuller understanding of his work. His relationship with English Canada shaped his work initially and his reception in Toronto served as feedback loop influencing his productions. Rather than responding solely to the global themes in his work, this audience saw aspects of its own identity reflected in his theatre. Lepage 'staged' and developed Toronto's understanding of intercultural and transnational theatre. Robert Lepage on the Toronto Stage analyzes the playwright's importance on the Canadian and international theatre scene and in the landscape of political, cultural, and linguistic identity. Toronto's embrace of Lepage, whose oeuvre steps beyond a narrowly defined concept of national theatre, also allowed the city to redefine its importance and aspirations on the international theatre scene."--

Music continues to be immensely influential in key developments of theatrical practices. In this study of musicality in the theatre, David Roesner offers a revised view of the nature of the relationship between music and theatre. The theoretical scope of the book is developed from a wide range of case studies, some of which are re-readings of the classics of theatre history (Appia, Meyerhold, Artaud, Beckett), while others introduce or rediscover less-discussed practitioners such as Joe Chaikin, Thomas Bernhard, Elfriede Jelinek, Michael Thalheimer and Karin Beier.

Au cours des vingt dernières années, les études théâtrales en France se sont éloignées à la fois d'une étude littéraire des textes et d'une approche purement linguistique et sémiotique des spectacles. Elles se sont efforcées de suivre et de décrire la pratique de la scène en vue d'une meilleure connaissance du phénomène théâtral. Cette étude rend compte de cette profonde mutation de la théorie, de la sémiologie et de la pratique de l'art dramatique, en analysant systématiquement texte, acteur, espace et réception. Sa matière est celle, éminemment instable, de la mise en scène contemporaine, son esprit celui d'une confrontation ludique entre l'austère étude du théâtre et sa plaisante pratique sur les scènes comme dans les ateliers.

This Introduction is an exciting journey through the different styles of theatre that twentieth-century and contemporary directors have created. 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 Koršunovas, 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.
