Popular Performance
Editat de Adam Ainsworth, Oliver Double, Louise Peacocken Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2018
Popular Performance defines and surveys varieties of performance where the main purpose is to entertain, and where there is no shame in being trivial, frivolous or nonsensical as long as people go home happy at the end of the show. Contributions by new and established scholars focus particularly on how it is made, explaining the techniques of performance and production that make it so appealing to audiences. With sections examining how popular performance works in a range of historical and contemporary examples, readers will gain insights into:
* performance forms associated with the variety tradition: music hall, vaudeville, cabaret, variety
* performance forms associated with circus: wild west shows, clowning
* issues relating to the identity of the performer in relation to magic, burlesque, pantomime in contemporary performance
* issues relating to venue and audience in relation to contemporary street theatre, stand-up, and live sketch comedy.

Recenzii
An interesting collection of academic treatments of areas of performance that perhaps do not get as much attention, which has to be welcomed.
Richly detailed ... This book will provide a valuable starting point for those seeking to orient themselves in the field, and its accessible written style makes it ideal for undergraduates.
