In prisons, schools and a wide range of communities, he was a forensic listener – critical and probing, but always creative and compassionate. Disobedient Theatre is a characteristically thorough book that divides itself between scrutinizing the impulse and spirit of subversive play and providing a hands-on guide that includes games and exercises for like-minded creatives. Johnston seeks to define cultural disobedience as the ‘unbridled spirit of impulsiveness’ (2017: xv), not because he is interested in rephrasing practice into a new movement, but because he is interested in exploring eclectic examples of theatre practice that he sees as fuelled by a concoction of imagination, political passion and creative innovation.","PeriodicalId":41248,"journal":{"name":"Applied Theatre Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46994313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
