[Candrama] Announcing Theory for Theatre Studies!

[Kim Solga]

Hello friends!

I’m proud to announce the publication of the first volume in our new series, THEORY FOR THEATRE STUDIES!

Theory for Theatre Studies (TfTS) is a series of introductory theoretical monographs intended for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers branching out into fresh fields. It aims to introduce constellations of ideas, methods, theories and rubrics central to the working concerns of scholars in theatre and performance studies at the opening of the twenty-first century. With a primary focus on twentieth-century developments TfTS volumes offer accessible and provocative engagements with critical theory that inspire new ways of thinking theory in important disciplinary and interdisciplinary modes.

FIRST VOLUME NOW AVAILABLE: Theory for Theatre Studies: Space. This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the “spatial turn” in modern theatre and performance theory, exploring topics as diverse as embodied space, environmental performance politics, and urban performance studies. Written in prose accessible to both students and scholars and featuring three in-depth case studies, Space begins with fresh readings of historical dramatic theory, discusses twentieth-century theoretical trends at length, and ends by asking what it will take (and what work is already underway) to decolonize the Western, settler-colonial stage.

"Kim Solga’s Theory for Theatre Studies: Space offers new considerations of foundational twentieth-century cultural materialism and boldly takes on vital new discourses. In so doing, Solga reinserts the stakes and dynamizes the discussion of spatiality in twenty-first-century theatre and performance studies." Scott Magelssen, University of Washington School of Drama, USA

"Solga’s engaging synthesis of key spatial theories opens up provocative possibilities for better understanding space in and of the theatre. Vivid examples anchor her well- contextualised ideas on texts, venues, scenic design and politics." Professor Joanne Tompkins, The University of Queensland, Australia

Forthcoming titles include Sound (May 2019), Movement, Emotion, Economics, Bodies, Gesture and Memory.
