Politics of performance

Nick Nissley has provided this pdf of his paper on The Politics of Performance in Organizational Theatre-Based Training and Interventions. He and his colleagues write in the abstract:

We examine the phenomenon of theatre-based training and interventions. However, we move beyond the practitioner-oriented 'how-to' understanding of theatre-based training, instead undertaking a more critical examination of the phenomenon. We analytically look 'behind the curtain', exposing the 'politics of performance' in theatre-based training and interventions by considering who controls the script and who controls the role in a performance. Lastly, we close with an 'offer' to the organization studies scholar - similar to the kind of 'offer' found in improvisational theatre.
