"Featuring conversations with theatre-makers in the US and UK during the first eight
months of Covid-19 lockdown, this collection reveals the innovations in digital theatre
as artists, companies and theatres had to adjust to the restrictions and formulate
new ways of working and reaching audiences. Besides documenting in their own words
the work that was generated, the book captures the artists' dreams for a new post-Covid
reality in which theatre is reimagined and issues of racial and economic injustice
are addressed. With conversations grouped under 5 broad areas, a host of theatre-makers
candidly discuss the present and the future of theatre: * R/evolution: How should
theatre evolve rather than re-set? What kind of field could this be, if the arts sector
is to survive in the US and UK and if white supremacist, classist, ableist and patriarchal
structures are dismantled and acts of regeneration and reformation occur? * What does
theatre look like at the local and hyper-local level and when working with young people
and communities at risk? * The challenges of creating work in the digital realm and/or
exploring socially distanced performance in new ways. * How may theatre address social
inequalities and be a place for acts of political and artistic resistance? How has
the pandemic galvanised their commitments to communities, arts advocacy, use of languages
on the stage and page, and considerations of the living archive? * Acts of communion
with audiences, readers, fellow artists, students, and within ensembles and collectives.
How do we find new ways to gather and make when liveness and the shared experience
are challenged?"
