Performing Heritage: Research, Practice and Innovation in Museum Theatre and Live Interpretation (Paperback)
Anthony Jackson (editor), Jenny Kidd (editor)Published: 01/09/2012
Performing Heritage is the first book to bring together the range of voices, debates and practices that constitute the fields of museum theatre and live interpretation. Inspiring and challenging in its scope and level of debate, Performing Heritage crosses the disciplines of performance and museum/heritage studies and offers remarkable and timely insights into the processes, outcomes and potential of this rich and rapidly developing practice - and in a variety of international contexts. The book productively brings together academic research and professional practice, and will be essential reading for all those interested in, and concerned with the future of, ‘heritage’ and its interpretation.
