- This is a research monograph of 265 pages. This book is an evidence-based study, drawing on Bartley's experience as a community arts worker and researcher, and analyses 8 performance projects and their makers and participants over an eight-year period. It explores the implications for socially committed performance when state systems of social security are eroded. A wide range of critical frameworks (performance studies, Marxist feminism and political economy) and methodological practices (cultural materialism, critical discourse analysis, and performance analysis) are deployed and tested against the practices of arts workers and the policy discourses affecting participatory performance making in the UK.
