Synopsis
The concept of performance as a distinct artistic practice emerges within the discourses of modernity. This guide to modernism and performance introduces key developments and debates of the period, such as the rise of the director, new theories of acting, new modes of production and complex relationships to classical and oriental drama. Through these debates, and through an emphasis on the performing body, this study underlines the importance of performance in reconfiguring our general understanding of modernism.
