Paperback. Condition: New. This volume captures the theatrical and cultural practice to have come out of Double Edge Theatre, which Stacy Klein founded in 1982. It showcases the company's dedication to collective artistic creativity, cultural survival and sustained, equitable organization-building, with Klein's artistic and social vision at its centre.Featuring interviews, artists' statements, essays and speeches in which Klein articulates the mission of Double Edge Theatre as it evolves, the volume captures the democratic spirit and boundary-pushing theatrical work the company has championed. In doing so, it celebrates the company's connections across the globe, including its collaborations with Eastern European, Scandinavian and South American theatres, such as Grenland Friteater (Norway) and Diablomundo (Argentina) and its links with rich theatrical traditions, such as the Laboratory Theatre, poor theatre, street theatre and circus). It also documents Double Edge's exploration of the intersections between cultural, traditional and spiritual practice, which extends to their work with Jupiter Performance Studio, the SITI Company, Open Flame Theatre, Ohketeau Cultural Center and the Drogobych Synagogue in the Carpathian mountains of Ukraine, as well as the inspirations of artists Marc Chagall and Leonora Carrington.The book features a scholarly introduction by Jonathan P. Eburne that situates Klein's writing in the broader landscape of theatre history. An Alchemy of Living Culture offers first-hand insights into the pragmatic, as well as the visionary, aspects of experimental creation and speaks to a broad and multi-national community of theatre-makers. …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. None. 1. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. In Ruling Women, Stacy S. Klein explores how queens functioned as imaginative figures in Anglo-Saxon texts. Focusing on pre-Conquest works ranging from Bede to Ãlfric, Klein argues that Anglo-Saxon writers drew upon accounts of legendary royal wives to construct cultural ideals of queenship during a time when that institution was undergoing profound change. Also a study of gender, her book examines how Anglo-Saxon writers used women of the highest social rank to forge broader cultural ideals of femininity, even as they used female voices to articulate far less comfortable social truths. Capitalizing on queens' strong associations with intercession, Anglo-Saxon writers consistently looked to royal women as mediatory figures for negotiating sustained tensions, and sometimes overt antagonisms, among different peoples, institutions, and systems of belief. Yet as authors appropriated legendary queens and inserted them into contemporary Anglo-Saxon culture, these royal "peaceweavers" simultaneously threatened to destroy existing unities and to expose the fragility of seemingly entrenched social formations. Drawing on the strengths of historical, typological, and literary criticism, feminist theory, and cultural studies, Ruling Women offers us a way to understand Anglo-Saxon texts as both literary monuments and historical documents, and thus to illuminate the ideological fissures and cultural stakes of Anglo-Saxon literary practice. .…
