BiDiNG TiME appears in new book about performance making - DIY Too by Robert Daniels
Tue, 01/09/2015
DIY Too is a new book about “do it yourself” performance, with contributions made by over 30 arts practitioners and collectives. Its aim is to articulate and contextualise an ethos and practice within contemporary art called "DIY" theatre and performance. The book is available through the Live Art Development Agency's Unbound Collection http://www.thisisunbound.co.uk/products/diy-too
This book is a text that provokes, prescribes, instructs, argues, plays, advises, promotes and describes. Its emphasis is on how theatre makers can encourage and evolve performance making by sharing their theories and practices, to help empower more artists to engage with this way of working. Critically (or theoretically) this book addresses a wide range of perspectives on "DIY" theatre and performance and identifies key axioms and dichotomies between ethos and style.
