  • Spring/Summer 2021
    AND OTHER STORIES Spring/Summer 2021 We started publishing in September 2011. Many of the most brilliant, engaging and artistically innovative authors weren’t finding publishers back in the post-2008 Credit Crunch, so off we went. Today the books in this catalogue represent the home stretch as we approach our tenth anniversary. And again, as larger publishers look fearfully at a difficult few years ahead and show every sign of once more losing their nerve on literature, we say: it’s time. We’d better step up. And we’re thinking about the future in more ways than one. We’ve always been concerned about our ecological impact, and we’ve tried to lead in our own small way, but recently we’ve come to terms with the fact that our efforts weren’t enough. In autumn 2020, we experimented with not using matt laminates on our paperbacks’ covers, out of a wish to cut out plastics from our books as completely as from our packaging, but we realised it meant we had many more damaged books that no one wanted. It had been a knee-jerk reaction, but probably not the right one. Ecological issues are complex and I’m strongly involved in groups in the arts and publishing, e.g. the Publishers Association’s Sustainability Taskforce, that are working to widen industry access to environmental knowledge. We’ll continue to look at our books’ production; we need to do so much more, both us the press and us the industry. In 2019, we also started to ask festivals and shops if our international authors could appear on a giant screen at their (live) events, rather than be flown there, to cut carbon emissions.

Fatine Bahar Karlidag A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Stefka Mihaylova, Chair Odai Johnson Scott Magelssen Barry Witham Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Drama ©Copyright 2017 Fatine Bahar Karlidag 2 University of Washington Abstract Reading the Old Left in the Ewan MacColl and Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop and Beyond: in Joan Littlewood’s post-theatrical engagements in the 1960s. Fatine Bahar Karlidag Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Stefka Mihaylova School of Drama Based on archival research, recent Joan Littlewood centenary events and contemporary scholarship on the Theatre Workshop of Joan Littlewood and Ewan MacColl, this dissertation proposes to take sides with the radical class politics of the Old Left, or Communism, to read the legacy of MacColl-Littlewood collaboration in theatre, and its continuing impacts on Littlewood’s post-theatrical work in the 1960s’ New Left. This is to demystify the ‘genius’ aura bestowed upon Joan Littlewood; to re-instate Ewan MacColl’s contribution to the legacy of this ground-breaking theatre famously known as that which revolutionized the West End; to retrofit Theatre Workshop as a sample ensemble of the larger frame of the radical left-wing interwar theatres while acknowledging the independent evolution of their work into 1950s, and to further complicate the thematically and textually oriented analytical narratives’ efforts to analyze Theatre Workshop productions.

    A Retles Art François Matarasso A RESTLESS ART At last a reliable text raising the neglected profile of community and par!cipatory art prac!!oners of the last 50 years. Illustrated with a mass of inspiring inter­ na!onal examples, François Matarasso offers scholarly reflec!ve theory, historical insight and a passionate manifesto for ways of crea!ng social transforma!on. John Fox. MBE The arts are par!cularly skilled at reinven!ng the wheel—each genera!on wants to believe its work is all new, breaking previously unbroken boundaries, truly transgressive and crea!ng genuine change. In truth none of us works in a vacuum and, whether we acknowledge it or not, all of our work is built on that of our pre­ decessors. In this book, François Matarasso offers an extensive understanding of the work that came before and a though$ul analysis of what's happening now, all of which can help us see where we could be headed and what will help us get there, as prac!!oners, funders, policy­makers or the communi!es who are (or should be) the bea!ng heart of our work. Above all and hugely welcome right now, this is a hopeful book, focused on deeds not words, on ac!vity and ac!on, which is fortunate—there is much to be done. Stella Duffy, Co‐Founder and Co‐Director Fun Palaces For anyone interested in par!cipatory art and community art, this book is a must read and will likely remain so for years to come. It charts the history and evolu!on of par!cipatory art in this country and many countries abroad, arguing the case for its con!nued development with passion and crea!ve force.

  • A Practice-As-Research Phd Volume 1
    An Investigation into How Engagement with the Context and Processes of Collaborative Devising Affects the Praxis of the Playwright: A Practice-as-Research PhD Volume 1 Karen Morash Submitted for the Degree of PhD October 2016 Goldsmiths, University of London Department of Theatre and Performance 2 This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signed, Karen Morash 3 Abstract An Investigation into How Engagement with the Context and Processes of Collaborative Devising Affects the Praxis of the Playwright: A Practice-as-Research PhD The central research inquiry of this dissertation is how the experience of working within a collaborative context, employing the processes of devising, affects a playwright. It springs from the presentiment that the processes of devising are significantly different than traditional playwriting methodologies and have the potential to offer short and long-term benefits to both playwright and collaborators. A central focus of the dissertation is the figure of the writer-deviser as a distinctive artist with a particular skillset developed from both devising praxis and standard playwright training (which traditionally does not emphasise collaborative theatre-making). This dissertation therefore examines the historical and contemporary context of the writer-deviser in order to provide a foundation for the presentation and exegesis of my practice-as-research: a play written via the devising process and another play written as a solo playwright.
