Thomas, Jennifer
Inclusive character analysis : putting theory into practice for the 21st century theatre classroom / Jennifer Thomas and Robert J. Vrtis - New York Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group 2021 - vii, 187 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes index
Inclusive Character Analysis foregrounds representations of race, gender, class, ability, and sexual orientation by blending script analysis with a variety of critical theories in order to create a more inclusive performance practice for the classroom and the stage. This book merges a traditional Stanislavski-based play analysis with multiple theoretical frameworks, such as Gender Theory, Standpoint Theory, and Critical Race Theory, to give students in early level theatre courses foundational skills for analyzing a play, while also introducing them to contemporary thought about race, gender, and identity. Inclusive Character Analysis is a valuable resource for beginning acting courses, script analysis courses, the directing classroom, early design curriculum, dramaturgical explorations, the playwriting classroom, and introduction to performance studies classes. Additionally, the book offers a reader-style background on theoretical frames for performance faculty and practitioners who may need assistance to integrate non-performance centered theory into their classrooms.
