Tracing the Footprints is aimed at students, teachers, practitioners and lecturers involved in the documentation of practice. What the book demonstrates is that theatre making is not just one process buy many; all linked, interwoven, impossible to disentangle.

Written from various perspectives-international actors, directors, playwrights, academics, dancers, and artists-this book examines and celebrates 14 theater events from a dozen countries. As it makes a case for what makes certain theater productions great, this record also offers examples of writing about theater that imbues the analysis with emotion and documentation. From Peter Brook's King Lear of 1962 through 2010's Oberammergau Passionsspiele, the performances described are seminal works indeed.

As a major contribution to the field of postgraduate activity in drama, theatre, and performance, this resource identifies the essential characteristics of practice-based research across a range of countries, contexts, forms, and applications.
