As co-founder and former Artistic Director of Tara Arts, he developed a new aesthetic style known as 'Binglish' which creates a hybrid dramaturgy of languages, training and performance forms, and styles of acting, and design, that operates to establish a negotiation between cultures which reflects contemporary Britain. Verma is acknowledged as being a leading practitioner and director, as well as writer about theatre and culture, who has transformed the face of theatre in Britain and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book combines:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• a detailed biography giving the social and artistic context of Verma’s work and his work with Tara Arts;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• an exploration of Verma’s own writings on ‘Binglish’, including his use of a range of performance forms and philosophies from different cultures, such as the importance of the \u003ci\u003eNatyashastra\u003c\/i\u003e in his thinking and practice;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• a stylistic analysis of his key productions, including \u003ci\u003eTartuffe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMerchant of Venice, Macbeth\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Bollywood pantomimes;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• pathways into some of the practical exercises relating to the dramaturgical style of ‘Binglish’ devised by Jatinder Verma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today’s student.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54826516382070,"sku":"9781032461915","price":45.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36650719.jpg?v=1760592737","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032461915-jatinder-verma","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
