Insight into the collaborative, multi-layered, and sometimes messy business of theater. The artist-led theater company Lightwork specializes in collaborative multimedia performance. The company experimented with several performance forms that emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century including devised and improvisation-led approaches. This volume brings together performance texts from nine productions by Lightwork and one play-text from Lightwork' s precursor company Academy Productions. The twelve-year span covered by the work reflects a period in British performance practice when the interrelation of page and stage, process and production, and text and "non-text" were being radically rethought.
Alex Mermikides is doctoral programme leader at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Recent publications include Performance and the Medical Body 2016, co-edited with Gianna Bouchard, and Performance, Medicine and the Human 2020 (both by Methuen Drama Bloomsbury); she is artistic director of Chimera. Andy Lavender is vice principal and director of production arts, and professor of theatre and performance, at Guildhall School of Music & Drama. He is the author of Performance in the Twenty-First Century: Theatres of Engagement (Routledge 2016), series editor of 4x45 (Digital Theatre+ and Routledge) and artistic director of Lightwork.
