These different but interrelated forms of theatre are addressed through four critical themes that underpin the ways in which analysis of contemporary theatre in relation to young people can be framed: political utterances - exploring the varied ways theatre becomes a platform for political utterance as a process of dialogic thinking and critical imagining; critical positioning - examining youth theatre work that navigates the sensitive, dynamic and complex terrains in which young people live and perform; pedagogic frames - outlining a range of contexts and programmes in which young people learn to make and understand theatre that reflects their artistic capacities and aesthetic strategies; applying performance - discussing a range of projects and companies whose work has been influential in the development of youth theatre within specific contexts. Providing critical, research-informed and research-based discussions on the intersection between young people, their representation, and their participation in theatre, this is a landmark text for students, scholars and practitioners whose work and thinking involves theatre and young people"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003149965 ER -
