<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear Colleagues,<BR>
<BR>
I'm pleased to announce the publication of my monograph<BR>
Grotowski, Women, and Contemporary Performance: Meetings with Remarkable Women<BR>
in the Routledge Advances in Theatre and Performance Studies series<BR>
(<A HREF="http://www.routledge.com/books/search/author/virginie_magnat/">http://www.routledge.com/books/search/author/virginie_magnat/</A>),<BR>
along with companion documentary films featured on the Routledge Performance Archive<BR>
(<A HREF="http://www.routledgeperformancearchive.com">http://www.routledgeperformancearchive.com</A>).<BR>
<BR>
Situated at the intersection of performance studies, experimental ethnography,<BR>
and Indigenous research methodologies, this book explores the artistic journeys<BR>
and current creative practices of women from different cultures and generations<BR>
who share a direct connection to Grotowski's theatrical and post-theatrical<BR>
investigation of performance. These artists transmit through their teaching<BR>
what I define as an ecosystemic conception of organicity, and I argue that<BR>
their creative research supports an ecological understanding of performance,<BR>
in the broader sense of ecology articulated by Indigenous scholars.<BR>
<BR>
The embodied research I conducted for this project, which entailed four years<BR>
of multi-sited fieldwork, was funded by two major grants from the Social Sciences<BR>
and Humanities Research Council of Canada.<BR>
<BR>
I am attaching a promotional flyer with a 20% discount for online orders. Thank you<BR>
for forwarding this flyer to your colleagues and students interested in alternative<BR>
approaches to interdisciplinary research.<BR>
<BR>
Have a great summer,<BR>
