Performing Emancipatory Rites of Passage illuminates an unexpected connection between ancient ritual structures and contemporary applied theatre practices.
Drawing on expertise from contributors working within not only Performance Studies, but also Anthropology, Black Studies, Education, and Cultural Activism, the book’s interdisciplinary case studies reveal the enduring power of rites of passage in today's diverse and multicultural society, expanding beyond their traditional role of keeping social structures intact to opening spaces for our evolving selves. From jazz funerals in New Orleans to reintegration projects for formerly incarcerated individuals, the contributors demonstrate how performance-based transitions continue to guide individuals and communities through profound change, even when challenging mainstream values.
This volume is essential reading for students, practitioners and scholars of performance studies and applied theatre as well as anthropology, education and religion.
