Performing Research Tensions, Triumphs and Trade-offs of Ethnodrama

Most of the accounts are of successful projects and barely acknowledge the complex problem at the heart of ethnodrama. In blending the demands of research with the aesthetic of theatre and other agendas like education or therapy, it is inevitably compromised: choices and trade-offs are constantly made. In this book, the authors explore the paradoxes of the form - and its usefulness and appeal. Five groups of researcher/performers have been brave enough to have their projects critically examined to provide case studies for the book. --
