About The Book

<p>This first volume in the 4x45 series investigates the work of theatre director Katie Mitchell. Pausing to reconsider a career in progress, it engages with some of Mitchell’s most recent work in the UK and Europe across theatre, opera, and Live Cinema. It also takes a longer view, considering the early turns that Mitchell took at the start of her career in the late 1980s.</p><p>This volume gives full scope to the voice of the practitioner, alongside scholarly perspectives, in order to understand the work from within. Interviews with Mitchell’s collaborators get inside her process – and inside the thinking of key artists who help craft the distinctive visual, aesthetic and technological forms of Mitchell’s productions. Three major concerns criss-cross these contributions: the political implications of aesthetic form; the meaning of Mitchell’s interest in the radical project of early Naturalism; and the influence of Europe on Mitchell’s avant-garde experimentalism, which often draws on technology to open up new modes of perception and experience. </p><p>An accessible and encompassing examination of one of Europe's most celebrated theatrical talents, <i>4x45 | The Theatre of Katie Mitchell</i> is a unique resource for scholars,students and practitioners of Theatre Studies, Performance and Directing.</p> <p>Table of Contents</p><p>Introduction | <i>Benjamin Fowler</i></p><p>1.
