PRACTICE AND PRACTITIONERS

Applying Performance Live Art, Socially Engaged Theatre and Affective Practice

Nicola Shaughnessy, Professor and Director of Performance, University of Kent, UK

’Applying Performance is a timely and engaging addition to the field, extending the scope and possibilities of what defines applied theatre, and pointing to emerging trends and thinking.’ - Michael Balfour, Chair, Applied and Social

Theatre, School of Education and Professional Studies, Griffith University, Australia

David Mamet A Life in the Theatre

Ira Nadel, Professor of English, University of British Columbia, Canada

'Nadel aims high...synching up the full range of Mamet’s work with his closely guarded personal affairs. It helps that the raw material on both counts is memorably vivid.' - The New York Times Book Review

'This is compelling stuff - front row seats to the life of one of America’s most influential playwrights. Mamet moves me and makes me jealous like few other writers can; this little jewel of a biography helps me appreciate the man as much as the work. An essential read.' - Neil LaBute, Writer/Director

This comprehensive biography uses extensive theater and film archives to reveal Mamet’s ideas on writing, acting, and directing, covering his beginnings in Chicago, his relationship to Judaism and reputation for machismo, as well as discussions of and excerpts from early plays and stories that have never before been referenced in print.

Susan C. Haedicke, Associate Professor, University of Warwick, UK

Street theatre invades a public space, shakes it up and disappears, but the memory of the disruption haunts the site for audiences who experience it. This book looks at how the dynamic interrelationship of performance, participant and place creates a

Violence Against Women in Early Modern Performance Invisible Acts

Kim Solga, Associate Professor of English, University of Western Ontario, USA

'Powerfully argued and elegantly written...this is an inspiring book that deserves serious attention.' - Susan Bennett, University of Calgary, Canada'It is refreshing to read a book that is, in many ways, a call to arms, and that wears its politics overtly...fascinating for what it can tell us about the contemporary performance of early plays and about the negotiations that must still go on when presenting their scenes of violence against women.' - Karen Britland, Theatre Survey

Examining some of the most iconic texts in English theatre history, including Titus Andronicus, The Duchess of Malfi and The Changeling, this book reveals the pernicious erasure of rape and violence against women in the early modern era, and the politics and ethics of rehearsing these negotiations on the twentieth- and twenty-first century stages.

Benefits to authors: Flexibility: Pivot offers the opportunity

to publish at lengths between the journal article and the conventional monograph (typically 25 – 50,000 words) Speed: publication of accepted

manuscripts within 12 weeks Peer-review: Palgrave Pivot publications

are subject to a professional and rigorous peer-review process Wide dissemination: publications are

available as digital collections for libraries, including via Palgrave Connect, individual ebooks for personal use, and as print editions

This is a bold innovation. Whereas publishing these days is too often belatedly reactive rather than proactive, Palgrave Macmillan has created an exciting new form to occupy the middle ground between a journal article and a monograph that will have significant impact on future work in the Humanities and Social Sciences - Eric Rasmussen, Chair of the Department of English, University of Nevada, USA
