The Theatre of Drawing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

An in-depth look at the creative processes of the 20th century's most groundbreaking multidisciplinary artists

The Theatre of Drawing highlights 42 American artists from the 1960s to the present, featuring individual portfolios for such prolific theatre figures as Robert Wilson, Meredith Monk, Ann Hamilton, Julie Mehretu, Trisha Brown, Gyun Hur, Annie-B Parson, Raven Chacon, Ralph Lemon, Jibz Cameron, Laurie Anderson, and Joan Jonas. The first book to present such an expansive theatrical perspective, the portfolios cover a wide range of genres---theatre, dance, music, installation, performance art---with each offering three to six pages of full color drawings.

The artists in this volume make use of multiple materials to create pieces that take on the forms of map, chart, storyboard, notation, score, notebook entry, character study, and works for exhibition. For theatre practitioners, this varied collection can serve as a valuable resource to consult for future events and performances.
