Contributions from new and emerging practitioners are placed alongside those of long-established individual artists and companies, representing the work of this century's leading practitioners through the voices of over 140 individuals. The contributors in this volume reflect the diverse and eclectic culture of practices that now make up the expanded field of performance, and their stories, reflections and working processes collectively offer a snapshot of contemporary artistic concerns. Many of the pieces have been specially commissioned for this edition and comprise a range of written forms - scholarly, academic, creative, interviews, diary entries, autobiographical, polemical and visual.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeal for university students and instructors, this volume's structure and global span invites readers to compare and cross-reference significant approaches outside of the constraints and simplifications of genre, encouraging cross-disciplinary understandings. For those who engage with new, live and innovative approaches to performance and the interplay of radical ideas, \u003ci\u003eThe Twenty-First Century Performance Reader\u003c\/i\u003e is invaluable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeresa Brayshaw\u003c\/strong\u003e is Principal Lecturer in Performing Arts at Leeds Beckett University and works freelance as a Feldenkrais teacher, theatre practitioner and personal development coach in a range of international contexts.
