Performance Research Journal
NEW PUBLICATION from Performance Research Books
'In Praise of Sideways: Storytelling Journeys of the Ruth Kanner Theatre Group', edited by Adi Chawin and Richard Gough.
'In Praise of Sideways' is the first comprehensive attempt to present the virtuoso performance practices of the Ruth Kanner Theatre Group. Throughout twenty-five years of innovative work, Tel Aviv-based RKTG has perfected a unique form of storytelling theatre. The book introduces a selection of performance works, and, through a variety of perspectives, analyses the vocabulary, terminology, techniques and research practices that the group has explored and established.
RKTG dismantles the historical, social and cultural aspects of place and time and transforms them into active entities on stage, establishing a deep connection between stage and audience, people and place.
'Ruth Kanner explores a wide variety of texts in incredible detail. It is a process of trial and error, where languages, histories and identities are stretched and challenged, resulting in work that speaks to a time of violent conflict. This book illuminates those processes and chronicles their triumphs and tribulations.'
– Misako Ueda, Artistic Director, Theater X (Cai), Tokyo, Japan
