BARBARA JEFFERIS AWARD 2022 - HIGHLY COMMENDED ABIA AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR 2022 - HIGHLY COMMENDED LONGLISTED FOR THE MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD 2022 SHORTLISTED FOR THE NSW PREMIER'S LITERARY AWARDS CHRISTINA STEAD PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022 A SYDNEY MORNING HERALD 'MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2021' 'In this novel, the project of living is rendered with compassionate clarity.' NEW YORK TIMES 'Thomas's imitation of wandering minds is flawless.' WASHINGTON POST 'Claire Thomas has constructed, with graceful precision, a near-perfect wind-up music box of a novel.' ARTS HUB The false cold of the theatre makes it hard to imagine the heavy wind outside in the real world, the ash air pressing onto the city from the nearby hills where bushfires are taking hold. The house lights lower. The auditorium feels hopeful in the darkness. As bushfires rage outside the city, three women watch a performance of a Beckett play. Margot is a successful professor, preoccupied by her fraught relationship with her ailing husband. Ivy is a philanthropist with a troubled past, distracted by the snoring man beside her. Summer is a young theatre usher, anxious about the safety of her girlfriend in the fire zone. As the performance unfolds, so does each woman's story. By the time the curtain falls, they will all have a new understanding of the world beyond the stage. 'How each woman interacts with and is altered by the play enacts beautifully the dialectical relationship between art and life.' WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN 'Written with passion, The Performance is a brave book: unafraid of confronting the dissonances of living in a modern Australia.' THE CONVERSATION 'Witty, affecting, brilliantly wise and original.' Gail Jones, author of A GUIDE TO BERLIN, THE DEATH OF NOAH GLASS and OUR SHADOWS 'A potent meditation on the intensity of women's lives.' Charlotte Wood, author of THE NATURAL WAY OF THINGS and THE WEEKEND 'Claire Thomas writes with a sure eye and knowing heart.' Tony Birch, author of BLOOD, GHOST RIVER and THE WHITE GIRL 'I read from start to finish almost without looking up.' Clare Bowditch, author of YOUR OWN KIND OF GIRL 'Read it as soon as you possibly can.' Emily Bitto, author of THE STRAYS 'A tour de force. I can't recommend this too highly.' Patrick Gale, author of A PLACE CALLED WINTER and TAKE NOTHING WITH YOU 'Quietly transformational' THE TIMES 'Inventive and rule-breaking...deliciously clever and self-aware' Arts Hub 'Richly rendered and perceptive' Publishers Weekly 'This is a masterful work. Highly recommended.' Canberra Times 'An intimate, compassionate, and unusual novel' Kirkus 'Intimate, poignant, and darkly funny.' Sunday Times 'Lively and intimate...The way Thomas plays with the reader is sort of genius.' The Guardian

Performing Collaboration In Solo Performance written by Chloé Déchery and has been published by Intellect Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-10-12 with Art categories.
The book provides an investigation grounded in creative writing and practice-as-research methodology and explores the issues of authorship and collaborative labour in contemporary performance. This investigation is set in the context of a world more and more characterized by fragmentation, displacement and virtual communication and relationships. It addresses and playfully engages with the following questions: what is a collaborative body? Can a sole performer carry out a collaborative practice ? Can we stand in for others? What forms of “coming-together” might take place when distance remains between those who perform and those who spectate? The book contains the full-length version of the score from A Duet Without You, an original performance piece created between 2013 and 2015 by Chloé Déchery in collaboration with a range of artistic collaborators working inter- and cross-disciplinary, including Karen Christopher, Pedro Iñes, Simone Kenyon, Marty Langthorne, Tom Parkinson, Michael Pinchbeck and Deborah Pearson. Alongside the playtext, the book entails a collection of essays written by independent writers, artists and academics and dedicated to the politics of collaboration, ranging from performative responses and co-authored articles to in-depth theoretical essays. Primary readership will be those teaching, researching or studying in theatre and performance studies, visual arts, fine arts, art history, creative writing, poetry, philosophy or French literature. Will also be of interest to art school students and those with an interest in theatre.

This is a truly paradigm-shifting study that reads a key text in Latin Humanist studies as the culmination, rather than an early example, of a tradition in university drama. It persuasively argues against the common assumption that there was no "drama" in the medieval universities until the syllabus was influenced by humanist ideas, and posits a new way of reading the performative dimensions of fourteenth and fifteenth-century university education in, for example, Ciceronian tuition on epistolary delivery. David Bevington calls it "an impressively learned discussion" and commends the sophistication of its use of performativity theory.
