Book synopsis

What tools do performers use to provoke their§audiences to change?§What is the nature and potential extent of this§change? Provocative §and Transformative Performance looks at the potential of §performance to provoke attitudinal and behavioural§change. §Through a combination of theoretical and practical§research, it §attempts to locate specific characteristics of§performances that may §be both provocative and transformative. Alchemy§permeates the §book, weaving through the analysis as a metaphor for §transformation. The alchemical moment of projection is particularly significant; this is the§climax, the final §operation before gold is achieved. This book is a§methodological §and evaluative engagement with provocative and§transformative §performance, taking into account the intention of the§performer, the §instrumentation performers employ in order to provoke§and §transform their audiences, and the potential§illumination of an issue §for the audience through performance. Through this§theoretical §framework, it aims to throw light on the ways in§which performance §can provoke transformation.
