        Digging up stories

        Applied theatre, performance and war

        by James Thompson, Martin Hargreaves

        In 'Digging up stories', James Thompson explores the problems of theatre practice in communities affected by war and exclusion. Each chapter or 'story' is written in a lively and accessible style and draws on a range of contemporary performance theories. The chapters discuss: - participatory theatre in refugee camps - theatre workshop and stories of a massacre - traditional dance-dramas in an insurgent controlled village - 'Forum' theatre with the Mahabharata - ethical issues - the struggle to teach the author to dance 'Digging up stories' documents a range of theatre practice and includes project reports, ethnographic accounts, performance analysis and diary-style reflection. Taken from Thompson's research and practice in Sri Lanka, these diverse examples question the link between applied theatre, traditional performance and performances in everyday life. The book blurs lines between research and travel writing to create rich and provocative accounts of applying theatre in a troubled setting. ;

        Beckett Erinnerung

        by James Knowlson, Elizabeth Knowlson, Christel Dormagen

        Beckett Erinnerung beginnt mit Gesprächen, in denen Samuel Beckett seinem Freund und Biographen James Knowlson von seiner Familie, seiner frühen Jugend und seiner Freundschaft mit James Joyce und dessen Familie berichtet. Er beschreibt seine Tätigkeit als Mitglied des französischen Widerstands in Paris, seine Flucht vor der Gestapo und sein Leben während der letzten Kriegsjahre im südfranzösischen Roussillon. Der Band versammelt des weiteren Erinnerungen an Beckett von einigen seiner engsten Freunde. Sie erinnern sich an den Schüler, den jungen Schriftsteller, dann den Autor, der in den fünfziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts mit seinen Romanen und dem Theaterstück Warten auf Godot weltberühmt wurde. Schauspieler, die in seinen Inszenierungen auftraten, Regisseure und Beckett-Kenner schildern ihre Erlebnisse mit Autor und Werk, und eine Reihe von Schriftstellern (darunter Edward Albee, Paul Auster, J. M. Coetzee, Raymond Federman und Antoni Libera) äußert sich über Becketts Werk und über den Einfluß, den es auf ihr eigenes Schreiben gehabt hat. Beckett Erinnerung präsentiert ein facettenreiches, eindringlich persönliches Bild des gemeinhin als unzugänglich bekannten Jahrhundertgenies - zusammengesetzt aus lauter "Originaltönen". Der Band enthält zahlreiche Entdeckungen, auch für Kenner.
