"Theatre and Internationalization examines how internationalization affects the processes and aesthetics of theatre, and how this art form responds dramatically and thematically to internationalization beyond the stage. With central examples drawn from Australia and Germany from the 1930s to today, the book considers theatre and internationalization through a range of theoretical lenses and methodological practices, including archival research, aviation history, theatre historiography, arts policy, organisational theory, language analysis, academic-practitioner insights, and literary-textual studies. While drawing attention to the ways in which theatre and internationalization might be contributing productively to each other and to the communities in which they operate, it also acknowledges the limits and problematic aspects of internationalization. Taking an unusually wide approach to theatre, the book includes chapters by specialists in popular commercial theatre, disability theatre, Indigenous performance, theatre by and for refugees and other migrants, young people as performers, opera and operetta, and spoken art theatre. An excellent resource for academics and students of theatre and performance studies, especially in the fields of spoken theatre, opera and operetta studies, and migrant theatre, Theatre and Internationalization explores how theatre shapes and is shaped by international flows of people, funds, practices, and works"--

"Is there a fundamental connection between New York's Elevator Repair Service's 9-hour production of The Great Gatsby and a Kathakali performance? How can we come to appreciate the slowness of Kabuki theatre as much as the pace of the Whatsapp theatre of post-Arab Spring Turkey? Can we go beyond our own culture's contemporary definition of a 'good play' and think about the theatre in a deep and pluralistic manner? Drawing on his extensive experience working with theatre artists, students and thinkers across the globe - up to and including an hour-long audience with the Dalai Lama - playwright Abhishek Majumdar considers why we make theatre and how we see it in different parts of the world. His own work has taken him from theatre in Japan to dance companies in the Phillippines, writers in Lebanon and Palestine, theatre groups in Burkina Faso, war-torn areas like Kashmir and North Eastern India, and to China and Tibet, Argentina and Mexico. Via a far-reaching and provocative collection of essays that is informed by this wealth of experience, Majumdar explores: - how different cultures conceive theatre and how the norm of one place is the experiment of another; - the ways in which theatre across the world mirrors its socio political and philosophical climate; - how, for thousands of years, theatre has been a tool to both disrupt and to heal; - and how, even within the many differences, there are universals from which we can all learn and how theatre does cross borders Of interest to theatre makers everywhere - be they writers, actors, directors or designers - this book offers an oversight, as well as interrogation, into the place of theatre in the world today"--

Interculturalism is an increasingly urgent topic in the twenty-first century. As human traffic between nations increases, it becomes imperative to critically re-examine the way cultural exchange is performed. "Theatre & interculturalism" surveys established approaches and asks what it would mean to reconsider intercultural performance, not from the points of view of the colonising cultures, but 'from below' - from the viewpoints of the historically colonised and marginalised.

"Staging Strangers: Theatre and Global Ethics is a study of cultural difference in contemporary Canadian theatre. Theatre in Canada has long been a forum for cultural communities to celebrate their traditions, but it has now emerged as a forum for staging stories that stretch beyond local and national communities. This book onsiders the new demand this global shift is placing on theatre's narratives and strategies and asks: how might theatre more meaningfully and ethically stage strangers? Combining archival research and performance analysis to discuss a set of performances mainly in Toronto, Staging Strangers offers a fresh look how theatre can be an important site of cultural encounter in a global age. Because the examples are mainly drawn from Toronto, the book is also a study of how cultural difference is realized in an emblematic 'global city.' The book adopts the guiding metaphor of 'the stranger' to discuss the many ways cultural difference is made to appear-or disappear-onstage. Equally, the book considers the many ways the stranger on stage may be fetishized or domesticated, marked for assimilation, or made an object of fear. It argues that a theatre that only valorizes individual, cultural 'self-realization' and concretizes cultural difference may at times also erect barriers to meaningful ethical engagement with strangers. More than a descriptive text about a shift toward the global, the book offers a vision of theatre that contributes meaningfully to global ethics, that is, a sense of ethical responsibility to global issues and distant strangers."--
