- Additional information
- Addiction and Performance is an edited collection that presents a multidisciplinary exploration of the intertwined relationships between addiction, culture and performance. It arose from knowledge exchange events organised by the editors that brought theatre practitioners in conversation with other arts practitioners, service providers, therapeutic professionals, and academics from a wide range of disciplines. As the first publication on this subject, it both consolidates and maps an emergent field of research. Zoe Zontou, as co-editor of the volume, was responsible for the overall conception of the book, writing the introduction, and editing the chapters in Parts 1 and 3. Additionally, she contributed a chapter on ‘Staging Recovery from Addiction’, which should considered as part of the output. Zontou’s contributions aim to generate a theoretical framework grounded in applied theatre theories and practices, and to define the scope and significance of reading addiction through the lens of performance. This volume consequently intends to bring together a variety of discourses to articulate a politicised conceptualisation of addiction and its necessarily complex relationship with performance.
